Abstract

This study regards the low noise properties of X-bandGaN-based LNAs as well as its associated robustness. Devices are processed on epilayers grown onSiC or Si substrates. The HEMTs present very low noise properties with NFmin and Gass close to 1 dB and 13 dB at 12GHz. The robustness testsshow that the component withstands power level up to 34 dBm. A two-stages X-bandLNA is fabricated showing a noise figure of 1.7 dB with a gain of 20 dB at 10 GHz.
