A 130-nm CMOS low-noise amplifier (LNA) for WCDMA applications is presented. The circuit adopts an inductively degenerated cascode topology. A detailed methodology using power constraint noise optimization (PCNO) method that leads to an optimum width of the LNA is presented. A theoretical noise fi...
