Low Noise Amplifier
Mr.S.Maria Antony KIT-CBE
Introduction
● A low noise amplifier is used to amplify very low-power signals
without significantly degrading their signal-to-noise ratio.
● They increase the amplitude of weak RF signals, which assists
processing as part of a receiver circuit.
Why Low Noise Matters
A low-noise amplifier (LNA) is commonly found in all receivers. Its role is
to boost the received signal a sufficient level above the noise floor so that
it can be used for additional processing.
Basic LNA Operation
● A low-noise amplifier (LNA) is commonly found in all receivers. Its
role is to boost the received signal a sufficient level above the noise
floor so that it can be used for additional processing.
● The noise figure of the LNA therefore directly limits the sensitivity of
the receiver.
Block Diagram
Key Characteristics
● Noise Figure
● Gain
● Bandwidth
● Linearity
● Dynamic range.
Types of LNA
● Bipolar Junction Transistor (BJT)
● Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor (MOSFET).
BJT LNAs have a higher gain and lower noise figure compared to
MOSFET LNAs.
However, they are limited by the high power consumption and large
size.
Noise in LNA
● For LNAs, the primary parameters are noise figure (NF), gain, and
linearity.
● Noise is due to thermal and other sources, with typical noise figures
in the 0.5 to 1.5 dB range.
● Typical gain is between 10 and 20 dB for a single stage.
LNA PERFORMANCE METRICS:
MINIMUM NOISE FACTOR, NOISE AND LINEARITYMEASURES Common LNA performance
metrics include
● operating frequency (ω0 = 2πf0),
● spot noise figure/factor (F) in a 1-Hz bandwidth,
● gain (G),
● bandwidth (∆f), 1-dB compression point (P1dB), 3rd-order intercept (IP3), and power
consumption (Pd).
LNA Applications
● LNAs are used in communications receivers such as in radio telescopes,
cellular telephones, GPS receivers, wireless LANs (WiFi), and satellite
communications.
● LNA represents a basic building block of modern communication systems, it
constitutes a part of RF Front-end module and a key block in a receiver
section.
