| | LNA Help!!! - RF Cafe Forums |
Because of the high maintenance needed to monitor and filter spammers from the RF Cafe Forums, I decided that it would
be best to just archive the pages to make all the good information posted in the past available for review. It is unfortunate
that the scumbags of the world ruin an otherwise useful venue for people wanting to exchanged useful ideas and views.
It seems that the more formal social media like Facebook pretty much dominate this kind of venue anymore anyway, so if
you would like to post something on RF Cafe's
Facebook page, please do.
Below are all of the forum threads, including all
the responses to the original posts.

Could you give me the formulas and one simple (single ended input, differential output) circiut. Please could you give me any suggestions ? I really need it. Thanks!!!
Love, Ginevra

First of all, you will need to select a transistor matching for your frequency band and gain.
There are plenty of formulas to use when you design an LNA: Stability, Gain, Return Loss, Noise Figure etc. Nowadays, Engineers mostly use CAE (Computer Aided Engineering) tools for designing LNA, Filter and other RF circuits. All of these formulas are entered into the design tool and by that save the designer lot of time and calculations.
Attached is a link to a PDF that will certainly give you a good staring point to design your LNA (It includes a discussion about the design and formulas involved in LNA design):

Should you need additional help, please let me know.
Good luck!! :wink:

Dear IR,
Firstly, I have to thank you, I'm reading your link and I think it will be useful.
Secondly, I have to use a CMOS or TSMC 0.18um tecnology, input matching 50 ohm. Do you have any documents about CMOS LNA?
Finally, it is possible to show a circiut in the topic reply without to have a web space?
Thank you again kiss, Ginevra.
