Abstract
A low-noise 2-20 GHz monolithic distributed amplifier utilizing 0.3-micron gate-length HEMT devices has achieved 11-dB +- 0.5 dB of gain. This represents the highest gain reported for a distributed amplifier using single FET gain cells. A record low noise figure of 3 dB was achieved mid-band (7-12 GHz). The circuit design utilizes five HEMT transistors of varying width with gates fabricated by E-beam lithography.Keywords
