Abstract

A wideband variable gain driver amplifier with shunt resistive-feedback and cascade topology is proposed for software-defined radio (SDR) application. The proposed wideband driver amplifier is implemented in 90 nm CMOS technology. Measurement results show that the power gain is greater than -10 dB and output matching (S22) is better than 10 dB from 0.4 to 6 GHz. The tunable gain ranges from -3 to 18 dB. The OIP3 and power consumption are 4dBm and 10mW, respectively.
