Abstract
The paper shows a design of mm-wave low noise power amplifier LNPA. The amplifier has the function of LNA in addition to power amplifier PA. It generates large output power taking into account the low noise figure of the amplifier stage. A variable and controlled power gain of 10 dB is designed in the STM 28-nm FD-SOI technology at the candidate of the 5G frequency 25 GHz. The post layout simulation of a $\mathbf{522x220}\ \mu \mathbf{m}^{2}$ layout area shows a 2.8 dB noise figure, 13.7 dBm saturated output power and 34.8% PAE using differential amplifier topology.
