This thesis discusses the technique of source inductive feedback (SIF) in low noise amplifier design to achieve both input and noise matching. The behaviors of device with and without SIF are investigated by noisy two-port analysis. In the mean time, a simpli-fied noise model is proposed to verify the possibility for input/noise match. The variations of and with SIF are also examined. A full small signal model containing noise sources is presented to figure out the deteriorate factors for noise figure. The limitation for using SIF is also indicated. Finally, a C-band amplifier is designed to confirm our investigation.
