Controlling noise is the primary effort in any amplifier. LNA (Low Noise Amplifier) will control the noise in front panel of amplifier stage as per FRISS law. Instead of single MOS in LNA , cascaded the MOS generates the stability factor in a better way in 850MHz RF frequency at load impedance of 50Ω. But additionally capacitor inserted cascaded MOS will pull down the stability factor. Cascasded MOS LNA have a stability factor of 1.387 and Noise Figure(dB) of 0.518

This research present a design of a higher  gain (66.38dB) for PHEMT LNA  using an inductive drain feedback technique for wireless application at 5.8GHz. The amplifier it is implemented using PHEMT FHX76LP transistor devices.  The designed circuit is simulated with  Ansoft Designer SV.  The LNA was designed using  T-network as a matching technique was used at the input and output terminal,  inductive generation to the source and an inductive drain feedback. The  low noise amplifier (LNA) using lumped-component provides a noise figure 0.64 dB and a gain (S<sub>21</sub>) of 68.94 dB. The output reflection (S<sub>22</sub>), input reflection (S<sub>11</sub>) and return loss (S<sub>12</sub>) are -17.37 dB, -15.77 dB and -88.39 dB respectively. The measurement shows the  stability was at  4.54 and 3-dB bandwidth of 1.72 GHz. While, the  low noise amplifier (LNA) using  Murata manufactured component provides a noise figure 0.60 dB and a gain (S<sub>21</sub>) of 66.38 dB. The output reflection (S<sub>22</sub>), input reflection (S<sub>11</sub>) and return loss (S<sub>12</sub>) are -13.88 dB, -12.41 dB and -89.90 dB respectively. The measurement shows the  stability was at  6.81 and 3-dB bandwidth of 1.70 GHz. The input sensitivity more than -80 dBm  exceeded the standards required by IEEE 802.16.

Automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast (ADS-B) is an equipment of a radar system to reach difficult areas. For radar applications, an ADS-B requires a low noise amplifier (LNA) with high gain, stability, and a low noise figure. In this research, to produce an LNA with good performance, an LNA was designed using a BJT transistor 2SC5006 with DC bias, VCE = 3 V, and current Ic = 10 mA, also a DC supply with VCC = 12 V, to achieve a high gain with a low noise figure. The initial LNA impedance circuit was simulated using 2 elements and then converted into 3 elements to obtain parameters according to the target specification through the tuning process, impedance matching circuit was used to reduce return loss and voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) values. The LNA sequence obtains the working frequency of 1090 MHz, return loss of -52.103 dB, a gain of 10.382, VSWR of 1.005, a noise figure of 0.552, stability factor of 0.997, and bandwidth of 83 MHz. From the simulation results, the LNA has been successfully designed according to the ADS-B receiver specifications.

Abstract Next generation of RF sensor modules, mainly for airborne applications, will cover a variety of multifunction in terms of different operating modes, e.g. Radar, EW and Communications / Datalinks. The operating frequencies will cover a bandwidth of &gt; 10 GHz and for realisation of modern Active Electronically Steered Antennas (AESA) the Transmit/Receive (T/R) modules have to match with challenging geometry demands, and RF requirements, like switching and filtering between different operational frequencies in transmit and receive mode. New GaN technology based MMICs, e.g. LNA, HPA are in development and multifunctional components (MFC MMICs) cover more than one RF function in one chip. Different front end demonstrators will be presented, based on multilayer ceramic (LTCC) and RF-PCB and associated assembly technologies, like chip&wire and SMD reflow soldering. These TRM front ends include a Low Noise Amplifier with an integrated Switch (LNA/SW) and for characterisation the measured Noise Figure (NF), a key characteristic for receive performance, will be compared. The need for high integration on module level is obvious and therefore specific demands for low loss ceramic and PCB based modules, packages and housings exist.

This paper presents the design and analysis of a continuously tunable low noise amplifier (LNA) with an operating frequency from 2.2 GHz to 2.8 GHz. Continuous tuning is achieved through a radio frequency impedance transformer network in the input matching stage. The proposed circuit consists of four stages, namely transformer stage, tuning stage, phase shifter and gain stage. Frequency tuning is controlled by varying output current through bias voltage of tuning stage. The circuit includes an active phase shifter in the feedback path of amplifier to shift the phase of the amplified signal. Phase shift is required to further achieve tunability through transformer. The LNA achieves a maximum simulated gain of 18 dB. The LNA attains a perfect impedance match across the tuning range with stable operation. In addition, it achieves a minimum noise figure of 1.4 dB.
