Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report is about the design of a Ku-band two-stage low noise amplifier working at an operating frequency of 18 GHz. The specification of this low noise amplifier includes a gain, which is greater than 25dB and a low noise figure less than 1dB. The transistor used to design is ATF-36077 manufactured by Hewlett-Packard which is an ultra-low noise transistor providing a high and stable gain at the required frequency along with a low noise figure. The results obtained after running the simulations concluded that the two-stage low noise amplifier satisfactorily provided a power gain of about 24.7 dB and a low noise figure of about 0.68dB. As a result, cascading the two-stages consisting first stage as a minimum noise amplifier (MNA) and second stage as a maximum gain amplifier (MGA) helped us to achieve the specified requirements. The minimum noise amplifier stage helped us to reduce the noise at the input while the maximum gain amplifier stage helped us increase the gain. The matching networks at input and output terminals helped in achieving gain stability at the output. The schematic was implemented using the Agilent's Advanced Design System (ADS) software. The circuit simulation was carried out in the same software and the results were verified. The results were also verified using the hand calculations and MATLAB software. At the end, the final layout was designed and sketched.

Download or read book Wideband Low Noise Amplifiers Exploiting Thermal Noise Cancellation written by Federico Bruccoleri and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2006-03-30 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Low Noise Amplifiers (LNAs) are commonly used to amplify signals that are too weak for direct processing for example in radio or cable receivers. Traditionally, low noise amplifiers are implemented via tuned amplifiers, exploiting inductors and capacitors in resonating LC-circuits. This can render very low noise but only in a relatively narrow frequency band close to resonance. There is a clear trend to use more bandwidth for communication, both via cables (e.g. cable TV, internet) and wireless links (e.g. satellite links and Ultra Wideband Band). Hence wideband low-noise amplifier techniques are very much needed. Wideband Low Noise Amplifiers Exploiting Thermal Noise Cancellation explores techniques to realize wideband amplifiers, capable of impedance matching and still achieving a low noise figure well below 3dB. This can be achieved with a new noise cancelling technique as described in this book. By using this technique, the thermal noise of the input transistor of the LNA can be cancelled while the wanted signal is amplified! The book gives a detailed analysis of this technique and presents several new amplifier circuits. This book is directly relevant for IC designers and researchers working on integrated transceivers. Although the focus is on CMOS circuits, the techniques can just as well be applied to other IC technologies, e.g. bipolar and GaAs, and even in discrete component technologies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a wide field of tasks left that can only be satisfyingly attacked with the help of old-fashioned analogue technology, and one of the most important are amplifiers for analogue signals. The strongly expanded content of the second edition of "the sound of silence" leads to affordable amplifier design approaches which will end up in lowest-noise solutions not far away from the edge of physical boundaries set by room temperature and given cartridges - thus, fully compatible with very expensive so called "high-end" or "state-of-the-art" offers on today markets - and, from a noise point of view in most cases outperforming them! With easy to follow mathematical treatment it is demonstrated as well that theory is not far away from reality. Measured SNs will be found within 1dB off the calculated ones and deviations from the exact amplifier transfer won't cross the ± 0.1dB tolerance lines. Additionally, the book presents measurement set-ups and results. Consequently, comparisons with measurement results of test magazine will soon become easier to perform. This new edition includes a new chapters about reference levels, Noise in Amp Input sections, Humming Problems, and much more.

Download or read book Millimeter Wave Low Noise Amplifiers written by Mladen Božanić and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-11-30 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first standalone book that combines research into low-noise amplifiers (LNAs) with research into millimeter-wave circuits. In compiling this book, the authors have set two research objectives. The first is to bring together the research context behind millimeter-wave circuit operation and the theory of low-noise amplification. The second is to present new research in this multi-disciplinary field by dividing the common LNA configurations and typical specifications into subsystems, which are then optimized separately to suggest improvements in the current state-of-the-art designs. To achieve the second research objective, the state-of-the-art LNA configurations are discussed and the weaknesses of state-of the art configurations are considered, thus identifying research gaps. Such research gaps, among others, point towards optimization – at a systems and microelectronics level. Optimization topics include the influence of short wavelength, layout and crosstalk on LNA performance. Advanced fabrication technologies used to decrease the parasitics of passive and active devices are also explored, together with packaging technologies such as silicon-on-chip and silicon-on-package, which are proposed as alternatives to traditional IC implementation. This research outcome builds through innovation. Innovative ideas for LNA construction are explored, and alternative design methodologies are deployed, including LNA/antenna co-design or utilization of the electronic design automation in the research flow. The book also offers the authors’ proposal for streamlined automated LNA design flow, which focuses on LNA as a collection of highly optimized subsystems.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this master's project is to design a low noise amplifier with cascading different amplifier stages together for specific design conditions. The aim of this project is to design a three stage low noise amplifier using minimum noise amplifier and maximum gain amplifier design. The final cascaded design should be able to satisfy the desired specifications using specific transistor at required frequency. The goal is to design a LNA which has maximum gain with low noise figure. The process begins with selecting a proper transistor, DC biasing of the transistor, checking stability conditions, gain, designing matching network, and calculating noise figure for every stage of the cascaded design. As the LNA is designed, the results obtained by hand calculations are certified by MATLAB simulation, Smith Chart and by simulation using Agilent ADS software.
