Based on four noise parameters and two-port noise theory, considerations for noise optimization of fully integrated tuned low-noise amplifier (LNA) designs are presented. This paper demonstrates explicit design guidelines for a 0.18 micron CMOS tuned LNA. These guidelines give a useful indication of the design tradeoffs between noise figure, power dissipation and gate overdrive voltage for the LNA designed using this technology.
