Source degenerated HEMTs are used to achieve good noise matching and better input return loss without degrading the noise figure and reducing the stability. This work presents an MMIC design for the frequency band of 8 -11 GHz by using HEMTs with source degeneration in 0.15 μm GaN on SiC technology. All design work is done in the Advanced Design System. The LNA delivers more than 6.9 dB gain with better than 8.5 dB and 9.5 dB input and output return losses, respectively. In addition, the gain ripple is around 2.7 dB. The noise figure of the amplifier is achieved below 1.1 dB with P1dB of 17.2 dBm and %12.7 drain efficiency within the operating bandwidth at the bias conditions of 9 V/20 mA.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
