Abstract

Balanced amplifierĀ is the structure proposed in this article, it provides better performance. In fact, the single amplifier meets the specification for noise figure and gain but fails to meet the return loss specification due to the large mis-matches on the input & outputs. To overcome this problem one solution is to use balanced amplifier topography. In this paper, a wide-band and highgain microwave balanced amplifier constituted with branch line coupler circuit is proposed. The amplifier is unconditionally stable in the band [9-13] GHz where the gain is about 20dB. The input reflection (S11) and output return loss (S22) at 11 GHz are -33.4dB and -33.5dB respectively.

Abstract

The low noise amplifier is one of the basic functional blocks in communication systems. The main interest of the LNA at the input of the analog processing chain is to amplify the signal without adding significant noise. In this work, we have modeled a LNA for radar reception systems operating around 11 GHz, using the technique of impedance transformations with Smith chart utility. The type of transistor used is: the transistor HEMT AFP02N2-00 of Alpha IndustriesĀ®. The results show that the modeled amplifier has a gain greater than 20 dB, a noise figure less than 2 dB, input and output reflection coefficients lower than -20 dB and unconditional stability.
