Abstract
AbstractThis article introduces a new, low cost and complexity, wideband Ku/K‐band combined low‐noise amplifier (LNA) Filter designed for large satellite phased array systems in advanced 22 nm Fully Depleted Silicon on Insulator Technology. The LNA achieves the required 20 dB gain through a two‐stage configuration using the cascode configuration. To effectively reject the transmitter (TX) signal, the LNA integrates 4 distributed parallel LC notch filters. Measured IP1dB at 29 GHz (TX band) demonstrates a 25 dB increase compared to IP1dB at 19 GHz (RX Band), with a remarkable 15 dB enhancement over the LNA without the filter. The 1‐dB gain bandwidth spans from 16 to 21 GHz, representing a 27% fractional bandwidth. Over the entire bandwidth, input/output return losses exceed 10 dB, maintaining a low noise figure (NF) of less than 3.5 dB. Inclusion of two filters at the input and middle of the first stage results in approximately 0.6 dB of increase in NF when compared to the LNA without the filter.
