This article proposes a low-power reconfigurable multimode low-noise amplifier (LNA) that can be configured for multiple narrowband as well as wideband operations while providing simultaneous input matching and output load reconfigurabilty. A component sharing technique and a component-Q-aware impedance-matching technique are introduced in the proposed LNA circuit. The proposed LNA, implemented in a United Microelectronics Corporation (UMC) 0.18-µm CMOS process, can operate in a narrowband mode with center frequencies around 1.8, 2.1, and 2.4 GHz as well as in a wideband mode (2–5 GHz). Measured results show that the LNA has achieved 14.1, 14.5, and 14.1 dB of voltage gain, 8.5, 8.2, and 8.7 dB of noise figure (NF) in 1.8-, 2.1-, and 2.4-GHz modes, respectively. In the wideband mode, the measured gain and the NF are 14.5 and 7.8 dB, respectively. The LNA consumes 2 and 3.8 mW of power from the 1.8-V supply in the narrowband and wideband modes, respectively.
