Abstract

This article presents a three-band low noise amplifier (LNA) in microstrip technology based on composite right left handed transmmision line (CRLH TL) resonators for multi-band behavior, which has been designed to meet all the criteria that determine the quality of its operation. The transistor used is biased via a transmission line and matched by λ/4 transformer filters with CRLH-TL type resonators at the output to establish multiband behavior with improved band rejection to suppress unwanted frequencies and interference. The results demonstrate excellent performance at three frequencies: 900 MHz (15.03 dB gain), 2.1 GHz (13.58 dB gain), and 3.5 GHz (12.57 dB gain), with a noise figure below 2 dB and unconditional stability. The size of the proposed amplifier is 73×63 ??2 in area.

Abstract

This paper presents a broadband Doherty power amplifier (DPA) for Sub-6 GHz 5G wireless applications, integrating a metamaterial-based harmonic control circuit to suppress the 2nd and 3rd harmonics. The design employs a CGH40010F transistor on a Rogers RO3004C substrate. All results are obtained from simulations, while the resonator has been experimentally validated. The proposed approach enhances drain efficiency under output back-off (OBO) conditions without compromising linearity. Simulation results show a gain of 12.2–16.18 dB, with drain efficiency from 50.42 % to 79.83 %. Efficiency remains high at 3 dB and 6 dB back-off, ranging from 50.8–75.6 % and 36–62.8 %, respectively. These findings demonstrate the DPA’s potential for next-generation base stations requiring compact, efficient, and wideband amplifiers, offering a practical solution for modern wireless communication systems. The novelty lies in combining broadband DPA design with harmonic suppression via metamaterials, providing improved efficiency and spectral performance.
