An ultra-wideband （3.1-10.6 GHz） low-noise amplifier using the 0.18μm CMOS process is presented. It employs a wideband filter for impedance matching. The current-reused technique is adopted to lower the power consumption. The noise contributions of the second-order and third-order Chebyshev fliers for input matching are analyzed and compared in detail. The measured power gain is 12.4-14.5 dB within the bandwidth. NF ranged from 4.2 to 5.4 dB in 3.1-10.6 GHz. Good input matching is achieved over the entire bandwidth. The test chip consumes 9 mW （without output buffer for measurement） with a 1.8 V power supply and occupies 0.88 mm^2.
