Abstract: The effect of gate – drain/source underlap (Lun) on a narrow band LNA performance has been studied, in 30 nm FinFET using device and mixed mode simulations. Studies are sssssdone by maintaining and not maintaining the leakage current (Ioff) and threshold voltage (Vth) of the various devices. LNA circuit with two transistors in a cascode arrangement is constructed and the input impedance, gain and noise-figure have been used as performance metrics. To get the better noise performance and gain, Lun in the range of 3-5nm is recommended.
