Design and simulation of 7 GHz CMOS wideband amplifier(CMOSWA) using a modified cascode circuit realized in 90-nm CMOS technology is presented here. The proposed system consists of two stages, namely a modified folded cascode and an inductively degenerated common source amplifier. The circuit is experimented with and without a feedback network. This work discusses the performance variation as a function of reactive components, and the initial stage results in 22 dB gain,2.6 GHz bandwidth, and 40GHz unity gain-bandwidth. The circuit without the feedback network exhibits 30.7dB gain,4.8GHz bandwidth(BW), and 10GHz unity-gain bandwidth(UGB). The reactive feedback network's inclusion helped to achieve 38.7 dB gain, 6.95GHz BW, 30GHz UGB, and 55o phase margin. The circuit consumes 1.4mW power from a 1.8V power supply. Simulation results of the proposed circuit are comparable and better than the reported wideband designs in the literature. Realization of our proposed circuit would add value to the area of wideband amplifier design
