A low-power 435 MHz differential low-noise amplifier with on-chip spiral inductors was implemented in a 0.5 /spl mu/m standard CMOS process. The LNA is intended for use in a low-power low-IF receiver under development for deep space communication. A current reuse technique is employed for low-power...
