Abstract :
The first carbon nanotube transistor (CNT)-based single-stage L-band RF amplifier has been designed, built and characterised. The on-wafer probe measured data was used to design a single-stage discrete feedback amplifier with a CN FET die. The amplifier achieved 11 dB linear gain with better than 10 dB input/output return loss at 1.3 GHz. The measurement results match well with the simulation.
