Abstract
  Background and Objectives: In wireless communications, receivers play an essential role. Among receiver architectures, the direct-conversion receiver (DCR) architecture has been selected due to its high level of integration and low cost. However, it suffers from DC offset due to self-mixing, I/Q imbalance, ...  Read More

Abstract
  In this paper, an ultra-low-noise amplifier with frequency band switching capability is designed, simulated and fabricated. The two frequency ranges of this amplifier consist of the 2.4 to 2.5 GHz and 3.1 GHz to 3.15 GHz frequency bands. The designed amplifier has a noise figure of less than 1dB, a minimum ...  Read More
