W-CDMA (Bahagian Kod Jalur Lebar Capaian Berbilang) adalah sejenis rangkaian popular selular 3G. Penerima-penerima wayarles untuk aplikasi W-CDMA perlu mengesan dan menggandakan isyarat-isyarat masukan kuasa rendah tanpa menambah banyak hingar. LNA lazimnya digunakan sebagai penguat peringkat pertama dalam penerima. Keperluan prestasi tinggi dalam W-CDMA menjadi motivasi untuk kajian kemungkinan teknologi CMOS digunakan untuk implementasi penguat hingar rendah (LNA). Teknologi CMOS adalah menarik kerana ia memungkinkan penyepaduan keseluruhan sistem pada satu cip. Projek ini memberi fokus kepada simulasi pascabentangan terkelebet kaskod masukan berhujung tunggal menggunakan process CMOS 0.18μ. Beberapa teknik rekaan telah dilaporkan untuk tujuan tersebut. Teknik Kuasa Terkekang Padanan Masukan Dan Hingar Serentak (PCSNIM) antara yang digunakan dengan satu kapasitor tambahan, 􀜥􀯘􀯫 antara get-punca peranti semiconduktor serta topologi kemerosotan punca induktif sebagai penamatan. Tambahan pula, teknik ini membantu dalam padanan masukan pada satu cip. Hasil-hasil simulasi pra-bentangan menunjukkan bahawa teknologi CMOS hanya memerlukan bekalan kuasa 0.6􀜸 manakala mencapai gandaan kuasa, 􀜵􀬶􀬵 􀜽􀝀􀜽􀝈􀜽􀝄 14.8􀝀􀜤, pekali pantulan masukan, 􀜵􀬵􀬵 􀜽􀝀􀜽􀝈􀜽􀝄 􀵆 11.47􀝀􀜤 , pekali pantulan keluaran, 􀜵􀬶􀬶 􀜽􀝀􀜽􀝈􀜽􀝄 􀵆 21.84􀝀􀜤 , pengasingan balikan, 􀜵􀬵􀬶 􀜽􀝀􀜽􀝈􀜽􀝄 􀵆 44.75􀝀􀜤 dan 􀜰􀜨 􀜽􀝀􀜽􀝈􀜽􀝄 2.0􀝀􀜤.

Pelepasan kuasa adalah 2.35􀝉􀜹._ W-CDMA (Wideband Code Division Multiple Access) is a type of popular 3G cellular network. Wireless receivers for W-CDMA application need to be able to detect and amplify incoming low-power signals without adding much noise. The most common solution uses low noise amplifier (LNA) as the first stage in receiver. The strict requirement of good blocks performance in the W-CDMA receiver has motivated studies on feasibility of CMOS technology for the implementation of good noise performance in the LNA. The advancement in the CMOS technology has made it possible to integrate the whole system on a single chip. This project focused on designed and post-layout simulation of single-ended folded cascode CMOS LNA using a standard 0.18 μm fabrication process. In this project, the folded-cascode LNA was following the Power- Constrained Simultaneous Noise and Input Matching (PCSNIM) technique with an additional capacitor, 􀜥􀯘􀯫 connected from gate to source of a common source transistor and employed inductive source degeneration termination. Furthermore, this technique helps on-chip input matching. Pre-layout simulation results shows that CMOS technology has the capability to achieve a 0.6􀜸 power supply while achieves a power gain 􀜵􀬶􀬵 of 14.8􀝀􀜤 , input reflection coefficient, 􀜵􀬵􀬵 of 􀵆11.47􀝀􀜤 , output reflection coefficient, 􀜵􀬶􀬶 of 􀵆21.84􀝀􀜤 , reverse isolation, 􀜵􀬵􀬶 of 􀵆44.75􀝀􀜤 and 􀜰􀜨 of 2.0 􀝀􀜤 . Linearity on Input Third-Order Intercept Point 􁈺 􀜫􀜫􀜲3 􁈻 is 􀵆11.81􀝀􀜤􀝉 extrapolated at 􀵆30􀝀􀜤􀝉 and Input 1􀝀􀜤 Compression Point 􁈺􀜲􀬵􀯗􀮻􁈻 is 􀵆25.9􀝀􀜤􀝉 . Total power consumption is 2.35􀝉􀜹.
