Abstract :
In the present article the research results of amplitude and phase noise of amplifiers with GaAs transistors with a Schottky barrier are submitted. Their dependence on input signal level and physical properties of a field-effect transistor (breakdown voltages and gate widths) is shown. The research results allow one to forecast behavior of amplitude and phase noise of amplifiers, not resorting to labour-consuming measurements, to optimize structure of radar transmitters depending on specificity of their usage in a different range of Doppler signals.
