Low noise amplifier for high frequency applications: A review

In this paper, various Low Noise Amplifier topologies presented for high frequency applications. Distributed amplifier, source degeneration, common gate, common source with inductive and resistive load discussed with their advantages and disadvantages. The effect of parasitic capacitances at high frequencies discussed. The tradeoff between the various parameters are discussed for the given topologies and comparison table comparing the parameters given in this paper.
