The feasibility of using CMOS technology for RF amplification in atmospheric remote sensing receiver is studied. The design and measurement results of a 200‐GHz low‐noise amplifier which is fabricated using a 32‐nm SOI CMOS technology are presented. The 8‐stage amplifier in a common‐source configuration achieves a 9‐dB noise figure and 25‐dB gain with a power consumption of 33 mW.
