Investigations on noise cancellation and linearity improvement in low power lnas and receivers

Abstract

Thermal noise canceling radio frequency RF circuits are available in the literature for more than two decades now Yet no systematic methodologies are available to analyze and design these noise canceling circuits The main objective of this thesis is to develop a generic theory of noise canceling circuits and use it in the analysis and design of new noise canceling circuits A feedback based noise canceling model is developed as part of this work to explain the operation of existing noise ca...
