Question: The folded - cascode CG LNA below is designed to operate with low supply voltage. Each inductor is chosen to resonate with the total capacitance

The folded-cascode CG LNA below is designed to operate with low supply voltage. Each inductor is chosen to resonate with the total capacitance at its corresponding node at the freq. of interest, so LB can be viewed as a resistance equal to RB,L1 as R1, and L2 as R2. Assume that Rs is matched to the input resistance of M1 PMOS, and RBRS. Neglect channel-length modulation, body effect, and the noise due to flicker noises. Determine the noise figure of the LNA with respect to a source resistance Rs. Show details of each step of your derivation. (Hint: use Fig.2.53(b) page 56 for the input-referred noise voltage of CG stage.)
The folded - cascode CG LNA below is designed to
