TY - JOUR AU - Niknejad, Ali M. AB - ABSTRACT A 100 GHz low noise amplifier (LNA) utilizing the slow‐wave coplanar waveguide (SW‐CPW) is presented in 65 nm low power (LP) CMOS process. A multistage wideband LNA is designed with minimal power gain degradation by carefully selecting degeneration inductance. Interstage matching networks are implemented with characterized SW‐CPW which has effective permittivity (ɛeff) equal to 13. The fabricated 100 GHz LNA achieves 8.8 dB of power gain and 6.9 dB of the noise figure including RF pads. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
