The project involves the following key steps:

1. Requirements Analysis: Define the specifications and requirements of the LNA, including gain, noise figure, bandwidth, and input/output impedance.
2. Circuit Design: Design the LNA circuit using RF design techniques and tools like Keysight ADS.
3. Simulation: Simulate the LNA circuit using simulation software Keysight ADS to verify its performance and optimize its parameters.
4. Layout Design: Create the layout of the LNA circuit, considering factors such as component placement, routing, and impedance matching.

• Frequency: 2.4GHz
• Gain: >30dB/15dB
• Noise Figure: <2dB
