Abstract :
A wideband monolithic low noise amplifier which covers the frequency band from 8 to 18 GHz has been designed and fabricated. The amplifier has a noise figure less than 4.3 dB and an associated gain of 8.5 dB across the entire band. A revised version of the amplifier which has a design goal of sub-four dB noise figure and an associated gain of 12 dB has been processed. Measured data will be presented at the conference.
