Abstract
This chapter starts with a short introduction on the current state of EDA tools and their description, an extension on the discussion in Chap. 1. The rest of the chapter then deals with optimum design of passives, LNAs and receivers. The design of LNAs, like that of any other circuits, will remain a highly iterative procedure. However, at the end of this book, in Chap. 10, an updated improved procedure combining the LNA design approaches taken throughout this chapter, and based on the findings of this book, will be proposed. An illustration of some EDA efforts is given, using snippets of scripts developed in MATLAB.
