Low-power Low-noise Amplifier Employing Body Bias Control with 28 nm FD-SOI Process

Abstract

Body-bias control technique which is useful method with fully-depleted silicon-on-insulator (FD-SOI) transistor circuits for low-power design is employed for an optimization method of the tradeoff between RF performance and current consumption. A 2.4-GHz low-power low-noise amplifier (LNA) is designed with a 28-nm FD-SOI process. By tuning drain current and body-biases, the LNA with low power consumption can be designed while keeping the performance of zero body-bias.
