As another possibility, unless impedance of Vdd is enough low, extraordinal oscillation could occur between Vdd and drain of M2.
Then it breaks drain of M2.

Try to place 10pF, 100pF, 1000pF and 100kohm between Vdd and Gnd.


I have  question

You mean place all 10pF, 100pF, 1000pF and 100kohm in parralel? or place just one by one, and test?

My frequency is wideband, from 1.8~2.7Ghz.

From VDD to ground, when I place the capacitor, which value should I choose?

Yes.

10pF must be placed in most near of Vdd.
100pF is next. And 1000pF is next to 100pF.
100kohm is near of 1000pF.

BTW, what value do you apply as stimulus power in Network Analyzer ?

Why do you use resistive feedback and also inductive degeneration? I though the point of using resistive feedback and thus making the NF a bit worse is to go without any inductor and save a ton of area, right?
