| This thesis introduces a CMOS active inductor with thermal noise cancelling. The noise of the transistor in the feed-forward stage of the proposed architecture is cancelled by using a feedback stage while a degenerative resistor is used to reduce the noise contribution of the feedback stage to the input. Simulation results using 90 run CMOS process show that noise reduction by 80% has been achieved. The maximum resonant frequency and the quality factor of the proposed active inductor obtained are 3.8GHz and 405; respectively. An RF band-pass filter has been designed based on the proposed noise cancelling active inductor. The RF band-pass filter is on chip biased which is tuned at 2.951 GHz, the filter features total power consumption of 5.1 mW, low noise figure of 8.45 dB, and IIP3 of -10.29 dBm. |
