A 2.45 GHz switched low-noise amplifier (LNA), intended for use in an integrated Bluetooth receiver, was implemented in a standard 0.18 μm CMOS process. The LNA is optimized for a fully integrated mixer stage, with a mixer-input capacitance of 150 fF. The amplifier provides a switchable gain (\textbackslashtextbarS21\textbackslashtextbar2) of 7 dB/-17 dB with a noise figure (NF) of 3 dB in a 50 Ω measurement environment. The power consumption is 7.6 mW from a 1.8 V supply. The die area of the LNA is 0.79 mm2.
