A 60 GHz tunable LNA in 32 nm double gate MOSFET for a wireless NoC architecture

The performance, tunability and efficiency of double gate MOSFET (DG-MOSFET) low noise amplifier (LNA) is investigated. We propose a novel two-stage common source cascode LNA and study its gain switching properties via back gate tuning in 32 nm DG-MOSFETs that leads to variable and reconfigurable device performances not found in comparable amplifiers built with conventional CMOS architectures without additional hardware. The peak gain changes by...
