This project present a design of a 5.8 GHz low noise amplifier (LNA) design with cascode and cascaded techniques using T-matching network applicable for IEEE 802.16 standard. The amplifier use FHX76LP Low Noise SuperHEMT FET. The LNA designed used T-matching network consisting of lump element reactive element at the input and the output terminal. The cascode and cascaded low noise amplifier (LNA) produced gain of 36.8dB and noise figure (NF) at 1.3dB. The input reflection (S 11 ) and output return loss (S 22 ) are -11.4dB and -12.3dB respectively. The bandwidth of the amplifier is more than 1GHz. The input sensitivity is compliant with the IEEE 802.16 standards.

LoRa is identified as Long-Range low power network technology for Low Power Wide Area Network (LPWAN) usage. Nowadays, Global Positioning System (GPS) is an important system which is used for location and navigation predominantly used in outdoor but less accurate in indoor environment. Most of LoRa technology have been used on the internet-of-things (ioT) but very few use it as localization system. In this project, a GPS-less solution is proposed where LoRa Positioning System was developed which consists of LoRa transmitter, LoRa transceiver and LoRa receiver. The system has been developed by collecting the RSSI which is then used for the distance estimation. Next, Kalman filter with certain model has been implemented to overcome the effect of multipath fading especially for indoor environment and the trilateration technique is applied to estimate the location of the user. Both distribution estimation results for Line-Of-Sight (LOS) and Non-Line-Of-Sight (NLOS) condition were analyzed. Then, the comparison RMSE achievement is analyzed between the trilateration and with the Kalman Filter. GPS position also were collected as comparison to the LoRa based positioning. Lastly, the Cumulative Density Function (CDF) shows 90% of the localization algorithm error for LOS is lower than 0.82 meters while for NLOS is 1.17 meters.

This project presents a 5.8 GHz Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) design with cascode and cascaded techniques using T-matching network applicable for IEEE 802.16 standard. The amplifier uses the FHX76LP Low Noise SuperHEMT FET. The design simulation process is done by using the Advance Design System (ADS) software. The cascode and cascaded low noise amplifier (LNA) produces a gain of 53.4dB and noise figure (NF) of 1.2dB. The input reflection (S 11) and output return loss (S 22) are-24.3dB and-23.9dB respectively. The input sensitivity is complying with the IEEE 802.16 standards.
