This lecture covers the general considerations for low-noise amplifiers (LNAs), focusing on noise figure, gain, input matching, and impedance stability. It discusses common-source and common-gate LNAs, input matching techniques, and inductively degenerated LNAs. The lecture also explores the impact of resistive feedback and noise cancellation techniques on LNA performance, providing insights into optimizing bias currents and noise factors for different LNA configurations.
