In this paper, an RF low noise amplifier (LNA) with self-recovery capability has been designed and implemented. A degradation model of hot carrier injection (HCI) of n-channel MOSFETs is proposed to simulate the aging process of the RF circuits, and a method for monitoring the HCI degradation in the...
