LNA-ESD Co-Design for Fully Integrated CMOS Wireless Receivers

The book "LNA-ESD Co-Design for Fully Integrated CMOS Wireless Receivers" offers a comprehensive analysis and guide to the complete integration of CMOS in wireless receiver front-ends. It addresses both the RF and ESD performance requirements, tackling one of the last challenges on the path to CMOS integration. The authors, Paul Leroux and Michiel Steyaert, provide a detailed introduction to the performance requirements of low-noise amplifiers (LNA) in wireless receivers and compare various common topologies in light of future technologies and frequency scaling. The book is designed as a practical guide for professionals actively involved in the development of CMOS wireless receivers. It offers not only theoretical foundations but also practical solutions for optimizing the performance of LNAs while considering ESD protection circuits.
