Abstract

AbstractA three‐stage 7‐ to 14‐GHz monolithic low‐noise amplifier (LNA) has been fabricated using 0.15‐μm AlGaAs/GaAs pHEMT technology.To achieve ultra low noise figure and wide operation bandwidth, the proposed LNA uses wideband matching network and negative feedback technique. Measured results from 7 to 14 GHz demonstrate a minimum of 1.1 dB noise figure and 26 dB gain. The input and output return loss exceeded 10 dB across the band. These results demonstrate the best performance of AlGaAs/GaAs pHEMT technology for wideband and low noise applications. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
