  • Abstract
    A fully monolithic indium phosphide high electron mobility transistor (InP HEMT) two-stage low-noise amplifier has achieved a noise figure, of 4.2 dB with an associated gain of 15.25 dB over the band from 56 to 60 GHz. Noise matching and bias decoupling are accomplished on-chip. The successful performance of the amplifier is credited to accurate characterization of the active and passive devices that make up the circuit.<>
