Abstract
Two monolithic W-band four-stage LNA's based on 0.1 /spl mu/m AlGaAs-InGaAs-GaAs p-HEMT technology were developed. One with integral waveguide coupling probes has achieved a noise figure of 4.0 dB with a gain of 30.8 dB at 94 GHz; the other has a gain of 31.7 dB with a noise figure of 5.9 dB at 102 GHz. This is the highest gain yet reported for a single chip W-band amplifier. The chips features CPW circuit elements and compact size for low-cost production, single-polarity bias requirement, and a minimum of DC bonding pads.Keywords
