  • Abstract
    A monolithic, single-stage high-electron-mobility transistor (HEMT) low-noise amplifier was developed for the 20-40-GHz band. This amplifier includes a single 0.25- mu m-gate-length HEMT active device with on-chip matching and biasing circuits. A gain of approximately 6 dB from 20 to 38 GHz, and a noise figure of approximately 5 dB from 26.5 to 38 GHz were measured. The chip size is 2.2 mm*1.1 mm.<>
