Abstract
A key building block in RF and communications devices, amplifiers play an essential role in the efficiency and flexibility of circuits. This paper details techniques in the design and development of a low power consumption amplifier that achieves the contradictory characteristics of extremely low noise figure and high gain. The method is illustrated by the realization discrete 900 MHz spatially compact amplifier circuit
