Abstract
The present 5G network demands speed, capacity, and reliability, and the imperative for high-performance components becomes paramount. At the heart of this mission is the Low Noise Amplifier (LNA), which plays a crucial role in keeping signals strong and clear while transferring data quickly. This paper introduces a novel approach of Particle Swarm-based shunt feedback -Transformer Coupled Resonators (PSbSF-TCR) to design LNA by integrating Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) with Shunt Feedback and Transformer Coupled Resonators. Traditional LNAs struggle to balance low noise, high signal boost, and wide frequency range. Additionally, they cannot handle noise well initially and have a limited frequency range. The proposed method tries to overcome these challenges with a smart optimization technique called PSO to overcome the problems of old-fashioned methods. Here, it efficiently integrates Shunt Feedback into the proposed architecture to suppress noise at the input stage, while Transformer Coupled Resonators bolster selectivity and widen the operational bandwidth. This synergistic fusion of cutting-edge techniques empowers the proposed LNA to deliver unparalleled noise performance, gain, and bandwidth essential for 5G networks. Simulations validate the superior performance of the design, affirming its potential to catalyze the next phase of 5G network advancement, where signal integrity and bandwidth optimization are paramount.
