This paper presents, an optimal design of the CMOS Low Noise Amplifier (LNA)for Radio Frequency (RF) receivers using the Multi-Objective Artificial Bee Colony (MOABC) Algorithm.The main aim of this work is to find the optimal device sizes of an LNA cascode with inductive source degeneration structure to achieve high voltage gain (Av) while maintaining low noise figure(NF).The considered LNA operates at 2.4 GHz and implemented in a 0.18μm CMOS process with 1.8V power supply.The results of optimization are validated using Advanced Design System (ADS) software and confirm that MOABC technique effectiveness to determine device size and optimize LNA design.
