Abstract :
A 14.0 - 14.5 GHz amplifier consisting of a cascade of three single-ended stages which realizes a noise figure of 3.5 dB and a gain of 17 dB has been designed. This has been achieved with a new design technique which is tolerant of changes in F ET S-parameters and yet capable of extracting the maximum performance of the device. Results on a 10 GHz amplifier designed with the above technique will also be given.
