Development of SOI Based MMICs for Wireless LAN Applications
Overview Due to its improved RF performances over conventional CMOS technology, SOI technology is a promising candidate for front-end wireless transceiver circuits. This paper demonstrates the development of fully on-chip integrated SOI based MMICs for IEEE 802.11a standard. A modified BSIM model is developed to predict small signal RF behavior. The development of high Q on-chip inductor design and modeling is detailed. The low noise amplifier, implemented in a commercially available 0.35 mm SOI MOSFET process, operates at upper U-NII band (5.725-5.825 GHz). The LNA exhibits a forward gain (S21) of 13 dB with a noise figure of 3 dB while drawing 8 mA from a 3.3 V supply.
