A 2.4-GHz LNA: Design, Simulation, and Comparison in 0.2-μm GaAs p-HEMT Process and 0.35-μm SiGe BiCMOS HBT Process

چکیده
An LNA design and simulation using ED02AH Technology in 0.2-μm GaAs Pseudomorphic HEMT process and 0.35-μm HBT SiGe BiCMOS process are reported as a case of comparison. This work uses an identical circuit topology for both processes which is a 3-volt two stage cascode single-ended topology with a resistive shunt feedback. This LNA is developed for 2.4 GHz ISM band applications. This letter describes the differences of the achieved specifications such as gain, noise figure, impedance matching, third-order intercept point, linearity, and power consumption using these processes. Keywords— MMIC; GaAs; ED02AH; pHEMT; SiGe; BiCMOS; HBT; LNA; comparison

متن کاملSiGe HBT wideband amplifier for millimeter wave applications
A wideband amplifier up to 50 GHz has been implemented in a 0.25 μm, 200 GHz f t SiGe BiCMOS technology. Die size was 0.7×0.73 mm. The two-stage design achieves more than 11 dB gain over the whole 20 to 50 GHz band. Gain maximum was 14.2 dB at 47.5 GHz. Noise figure was lower than 9 dB up to 34 GHz and a current of 30 mA was drawn from a 4 V supply. To the author’s best knowledge this is the hi...

متن کامل47-77 GHz and 70-155 GHz LNAs in SiGe BiCMOS Technologies
This paper presents two broadband LNAs covering the frequency ranges from 47 to 77 GHz and 73 to 140 GHz, with peak gain above 20 dB. A proposed Ttype matching topology has been adopted in both circuits to achieve the wide bandwidth. While the V-band LNA achieves the design target, the bandwidth in W/F-band is reduced to 73-140 GHz, with a mid-band gain of 20 dB. The measured NF is below 7.2 dB...
