Abstract
This work presents the design and measurement of a low-power wide-band cryogenic low-noise amplifier (LNA) that operates in a wide temperature range using 16nm FinFET technology. The LNA is packaged and measured at both room and cryogenic temperatures. It features a compact multi-stage cascode topology and operates between 2.2-6.9 GHz, with a noise figure (NF) of 0.36 dB, a peak gain of 31.4 dB and a total DC power consumption of 4 mW at 18 K temperature.Citation
