Maximum power gain and minimum noise figure of are equally important in
communication receivers. However both cannot be achieved simultaneously also
trade-off between these two gives a complex design. In this project a single
stage Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) design using Nonlinear MOSFET model have been
proposed for X-band applications like radar, satellite ground station services
and Direct Broadcast Satellite (DBS) service. Advanced Designed System (ADS)
tool has been used to construct and simulate the circuit. The performance
parameters of the amplifier such as Noise Figure, Gain, VSWR, 1 dB compression
point, Third Order Intercept point (TOI), Harmonic power levels, Dynamic Range
are analyzed by considering all device parasitic elements including package
parasitic. A hybrid Microwave Integrated Circuit (MIC) which uses minimal
microwave discrete components and micro strip transmission lines for biasing
and matching networks have been adopted here. Compared to the High Electron
Mobility Transistor (HEMT) with three stages, This LNA based MOSFET design
provides 11 dB better gain with single stage. The IIP3 is also well improved to
15 dBm rather than −1 dBm reported. The 1 dB compression range is also quite
better as 7 dBm.
