A wideband monolithic low noise IF amplifier for W-band receiver
Abstract
A wideband monolithic low noise amplifier that covers the 8 to 18 GHz frequency band has been designed and fabricated. The amplifier has a noise figure of less than 4.3 dB and an associated gain of 8.5 dB across the entire band. This low noise amplifier is designed to be used as the IF amplifier for a W-band (75-110 GHz) receiver. The RF performance of this amplifier satisfies a broad range of applications and can be used as an inexpensive gain block.
