Abstract

The development of wireless portable electronics is moving towards smaller and lighter devices. Although low noise amplifier (LNA) performance is extremely good nowadays, the design engineer still has to make some complex system trades. Many LNA are large, heavy and consume a lot of power. The design of an LNA in radio frequency (RF) circuits requires the trade-off of many important characteristics, such as gain, noise figure (NF), stability, power consumption and complexity. This situation forces designers to make choices in the design of RF circuits. The designed simulation process is done using the Advance Design System (ADS), while FR4 strip board is used for fabrication purposes. A single stage LNA has successfully designed with 7.78 dB forward gain and 1.53 dB noise figure; it is stable along the UNII frequency band.
