    Abstract :

    Programmable stimulator implant generates different types of stimulation patterns for different organs. A passive implant can derive power from the wireless power transfer at radio frequency. Signals received by the antenna in wireless systems are very weak. A low noise amplifier is needed to amplify the weak signal received by the antenna with minimum self-generated noise. LNA’s are usually used as the front end of a receiver system. It is usually located at the focal point on the antenna, so that it can receive and amplify the weak signals thereby overcoming the system losses of the receiver. The LNA must have the lowest noise, so it doesn’t add noise to the microwave system. Size of LNA should be very low since it is for medical implants. CMOS MMIC(Micro Monolithic Integrated Circuit) LNA is presented in this work.
