Well, Gm-C filters are not a good choice for low noise designs.
So what you get is somewhat expected.
If you insist on using Gm-C architecture, all I can suggest is to increase gm and C, if thermal noise is dominant, or mos areas if 1/f one is dominant.

Thanks 101 for ur reply. The NF that i mentioned is using SP analysis. However, if i use conventional method to find noise rms,SNR, i get my NF around 4dB. I m not quite believing it., any comment?

thanks in advance.
