Question: M 1 , M 4 below form a CS - stage LNA with the feedback R F . M 2 , M 3 form an

M1, M4 below form a CS-stage LNA with the feedback RF.M2,M3 form an -A1 amplifier for noise cancelling ( noises of M1 & M4 input transistors). M3 also operates as source follower sensing signal and noise at the drain of M1, via C1( assumed ideal very high admittance). Determine the voltage gain of the -A1 amplifier, the design values of M2's transconductance gm2 and of M3's transconductance gm3, and the voltage gain VoutVin of this noise-cancelling LNA; all expressions in terms of RS and RF. Assumed the input resistance of LNA, is matched to RS and all C capacitances are ideal with large admittances. Neglect channel-length modulation, body effect, flicker noises, noises from M3 and M2, noises from all resistors, and noises from all C capacitances. Show details and all circuit MODELS in each step of your work. (Reminder: PMOS (M4) smallsignal model is similar to NMOS small-signal model; the total output noise equals the node-Y noise M3followed at Vout, plus the node- X noise amplified by -A1 at Vout )
