Abstract

A broadband amplifier has been designed with a low noise figure up to 7 GHz using a standard 0.8 µm GaAs MESFET process (fT = 13 GHz). An active match common gate input stage, a common source output stage and a combination of resistive and reactive loads give a gain of 10 +/- 1 dB and a noise figure below 5 dB over the 0.3 to 7 GHz frequency range.
