Abstract
Compact Ka-Band MMIC low noise amplifiers have been developed with high gain, low VSWR and low power dissipation using 0.12 /spl mu/m InP HEMT technology. A five stage single-ended LNA achieved 40 dB of gain and a 1.4 dB average noise figure over the 27-30 GHz band with an input return loss in excess of 15 dB. The 3/spl times/1 mm/sup 2/ MMIC consumes less than 40 milliwatts of dc power.Keywords
