  • Abstract
    This paper describes the design, simulation and measurements of a 2025 to 2120 MHz single stage Pseudomorphic High Electron Mobility Transistor (pHEMT) Low Noise Amplifier (LNA), intended for use in a TT&C receiver in low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite. The LNA has been simulated with software and the results show that it provides a gain of more than 10 dB, a noise figure below 0.58 dB and VSWR less than 1:1.35. The circuit is designed on Roger´s Duroid 5880 microwave laminate. The power consumption is 27 mW at VDD=12 V.
