Abstract
The next generation of wireless systems must accommodate two increasingly important factors: the need for extreme reconfigurability and the requirement of low power dissipation. This reconfigurability is driven by the following: the ability to cope with large process variations/design uncertainty, the need to operate across multiple wireless standards, and operation in various SNR/interference scenarios. In this project, we will develop a frequency locked LNA that can accommodate process/design uncertainty as well as allow operation over a wide range of LNA bias points.
