Abstract. A SiGe GPS low noise amplifier with power control option and high immunity to wireless jamming signals is presented. These novel features applied to Atmel’s ATR0610 GPS LNA allow significant power saving at the radio interface while meeting the out-of-band linearity requirements. The results show the noise figure less than 2.1 dB, including the embedded pre-select filter, and out-of-band IIP3 above +8 dBm in the frequency range between 1.8GHz and 2 GHz with 3mA current consumption. The GPS system performance shows GPS sensitivity below -141 dBm with 5 ms integration interval.

A 1.575GHz SiGe HBT(heterojunction bipolar transistor) low-noise-amplifier(LNA) optimized for Global Positioning System(GPS) L1-band applications was presented. The designed LNA employed a common-emitter topology with inductive emitter degeneration to simultaneously achieve low noise figure and input impedance matching. A resistor-bias-feed circuit with a feedback resistor was designed for the LNA input transistor to improve the gain compression and linearity performance. The LNA was fabricated in a commercial 0.18µm SiGe BiCMOS process. The LNA achieves a noise figure of 1.1dB, a power gain of 19dB, a input 1dB compression point(P1dB) of -13dBm and a output third-order intercept point(OIP3) of +17dBm at a current consumption of 3.6mA from a 2.8V supply.

Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) is a front-end device of a radio frequency (RF) receiver used to increase the amplitude of an RF signal without much additional noise, thereby increasing the noise figure of the system. This paper presents design, simulation, and prototype of an LNA operating at 1.5 GHz for the bandwidth of 100 MHz. The circuit was simulated using Advanced Design System (ADS). The components used are Surface Mount Devices (SMDs); with transistor "Infineon BFP420" as a major component. Other components are resistors, capacitors, and inductors; inductors being superseded by microstrip lines. The circuit was fabricated on FR4 board. The measurements of several parameters of LNA were made using Vector Network Analyzer (VNA), Noise Figure Meter; and Spectrum Analyzer. The LNA has minimum gain of 15.4 dB and maximum noise figure of 1.33 dB. It is unconditionally stable from 50 MHz to 10 GHz. DC supply is 5V and the current consumption is 10 mA. This LNA offers Output-Third­Order-Intercept-Point (OJP3) of about 1 4 dBm.

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.
