Second Web release on 12.06.2023

DownloadLNA Survey v2. (XLSX, 73 KB) This document collects the published silicon/SiGe low noise amplifier (LNAs) noise figure from 2018 to present, focusing on LNAs with carrier frequencies from 500 MHz to 300 GHz and LNAs implemented in commercially available technologies including bulk CMOS, CMOS SOI, SiGe/SiGe BiCMOS, and FinFET technologies. The purpose of this document is to help the scientific community identify the technology trends, technology needs, performance progress, and performance limits in LNAs over carrier frequency and device technology, etc. In addition, the LNA dataset can be useful for planning and architecting of RF/mm-Wave systems, such as 5G/6G communication, SATCOM, and radar/imaging/sensing applications.

This is the second public release (Version 2.0) that includes total 262 LNA data points. Only LNA designs reported in peer-reviewed publications are included.
