In this paper we present a broadband matching technique for the design of low noise amplifiers. This technique is based on the use of coupled lines filters and quarter wave transformers for the adaptation and stabilization of these amplifiers, presenting the theory and the design process of these circuits. The type of transistors used for modeling this amplifier is the HEMT of Alpha Industries®. The results we found show that this amplifier is unconditionally stable with a satisfactory gain of about 20 dB and good impedance matching across the band of interest [10-12] GHz. The amplifier modeled in this work can be integrated in satellite receiving systems and radar systems. |
