This paper presents the design of a single-ended input, differential output low noise amplifier in 0.18μm CMOS technology. In the proposed paper a noise reduction technique is used to improve the noise figure of the single to differential low noise amplifier (S-to-D-LNA). In this method two common source cascode amplifier stage is utilized in the first stage and a common source cascode amplifier stage with common gate cascode stage is used in the differential mode. The proposed S-to-D-LNA with these two stages and by using the

differential low-noise amplifier (DLNA); single-to-differential low-noise amplifier (S-to-D-LNA); Differential Active Inductor (DAI); Noise Figure;
