A two-path low-noise amplifier (LNA) is designed with TSMC 0.18μ m standard RF CMOS process for 6–16 GHz frequency band applications. The principle of a conventional resistive shunt feedback LNA is analyzed to demonstrate the trade-off between the noise figure (NF) and the input matching. To alleviate the mentioned issue for wideband application, this structure with noise canceling technique and linearity improvement are applied to a two-path structure. Flat and high gain is supplied by the primary path; while the input and output impedance matching are provided by the secondary path. The − 3 dB bandwidth can be increased to a higher frequency by inductive peaking, which is used at the first stage of the two paths. Besides, by biasing the transistors at the threshold voltage, low power dissipation is achieved. The − 3 dB gain bandwidth of the proposed LNA is 10 GHz, while the maximum power gain of 13.1 dB is attained. With this structure, minimum NF of 4.6 dB and noise flatness of 1 dB in the whole bandwidth can be achieved. The input impedance is matched, and S1 1 is lower than − 10 dB. With the proposed linearized LNA, the average IIP3 of + 0 . 5 dBm is gained, while it occupies 1051.7μ m × 7 4 9 . 7 μ m die area.
