Low Noise Amplifier

This book discusses unified noise models of the broadest set of electronic components including, resistors, diodes, all types of transistors, and most types of opto-electronic devices. The noise, however, is a phenomenon which is inherent to any technology. It is omnipresent. It is obstructing every application and in many cases special actions must be undertaken to recognize the main function’s signal in the mistiness of the noise. The number of types of noise sources in electronics is almost unlimited. The book offers unique comprehensive approach to noise analysis in electronic circuits based on modified nodal analysis and the superposition theorem. It also encompasses a broadest set of low noise amplifier design procedures covering BJT, MOSET, MESFET, and HEMT technologies.

This book consists of the research, design and implementation, from sizing to layout with parasitic extraction and yield estimation, of a low-power, low-noise amplifier for biomedical and healthcare applications of bio-potential signals, particularly focusing on the electromyography and electrooculography. These signals usually operate in different broadbands, yet follow an impulse-shape transmission, hence being suitable to be applied and detected by the same receiver.

This book examines the challenges of low-noise amplifier (LNA) research and design in the millimeter-wave regime by dissecting the common LNA configurations and typical specifications into parts, which are then optimized separately over several chapters to suggest improvements in the current designs.
