This paper presents the design of ultra-wideband low noise amplifier (UWB LNA). The proposed UWB LNA whose bandwidth extends from 2.5 GHz to 16 GHz is designed using a symmetric 3D RF integrated inductor. This UWB LNA has a gain of 11 ± 1.0 dB and a NF less than 3.3 dB. Good input and output impedance matching and good isolation are achieved over the operating frequency band. The proposed UWB LNA is driven from a 1.8 V supply. The UWB LNA is designed and simulated in standard TSMC 0.18 µm CMOS technology process.

This paper analyzes the single event transient (SET) response of low noise amplifier (LNA) designed using SiGe heterojunction bipolar transistors (HBT). To verify the radiation tolerance of the proposed LNA, a total of four cascode configurations were designed. Comprehensive mixed-mode simulations were performed to evaluate the SET susceptibility of considered LNA cascode configurations, and we have analyzed how the strike parameters affect their output response. In this fact the strike position, linear energy transfer (LET), and track radius, were varied, and the resulting transients were compared for the different LNA configurations. Through this study, the potential capability of the inverse mode SiGe heterojunction bipolar transistor (HBT) in LNA radiation tolerance was confirmed for various strike operating conditions. It has been demonstrated that the single event sensitivity was reduced for LNA employing inverse mode SiGe HBT for strike device. The strike influence on the different LNA configurations response depends on strike LET, where a reduced SET variation is observed for high LET.
