The document summarizes the design of a low noise amplifier meeting specific gain, noise figure, return loss, and stability specifications. The amplifier was designed using a bipolar junction transistor with input and output matching networks composed of lumped elements. Simulation results showed the design met or nearly met all specifications except output return loss. Fabricated measurements matched simulations but did not fully meet specifications, potentially due to fabrication and component imperfections. Overall the amplifier performed well but could be improved with a higher bias point design.

Balanced amplifier 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.

Double feedback technique for reduction of Noise LNA with gain enhancementijceronline
In this paper we present a balun low noise amplifier (LNA) in which the gain is boosted by using a double feedback structure. The circuit is based on a conventional balun LNA with noise and distortion cancelation. The LNA is based on the combination of a common-gate (CG) stage and common-source (CS) stage. We propose to replace the load resistors by active loads, which can be used to implement local feedback loops (in the CG and CS stages). This will boost the gain and reduce the noise figure (NF). Simulation results, with a 130nm CMOS technology, show that the gain is 24dB and the NF is less than 2.7dB. The total power dissipation is only 5.4mW (since no extra blocks are required), leading to a figure-of-merit (FOM) of 3.8mW-1 using a nominal 1.2V supply. Measurement results are presented for the proposed DFBLNA included in a receiver frontend for biomedical applications (ISM and WMTS).
This presentation illustrates the experience gained by me during a RF circuit design course. The course requirements included designing, fabricating and simulating various couplers, an amplifier, a low noise amplifier and an oscillator. Operating frequency was centered around 2.4 GHz.

A 12-Bit High Speed Analog To Digital Convertor Using μp 8085IJERA Editor
The need constantly exists for converters with higher resolution, faster conversion speeds and lower power dissipation. High-speed analog to digital converters (ADC’s) have been based on flash architecture, because all comparators sample the analog input voltage simultaneously, this ADC is thus inherently fast. Unfortunately, flash ADC requires 2N - 1 comparators to convert N bit digital code from an analog sample. This makes flash ADC’s unsuitable for high-resolution applications. This paper demonstrates a simple technique to enhance resolution of flash ADC’s that require as few as 256 comparators for 12-bit conversion. In this approach, the analog input range is partitioned into 256 quantization cells, separated by 255 boundary points. An 8-bit binary code 00000000 to 11111111 is assigned to each cell. A 12-bit flash converter requires 4096 comparators, while proposed technique reduces number of comparator requirements to only 256 for 12- bit conversion. Therefore, this technique is best suitable when high speed combined with high resolution is required. Result of 12-bit prototype is presented.

Section 2: Design Summary
The project involved the design on a low-noise amplifier using a bipolar junction transistor. The
Input and output matching network are composed of lumped elements and the bias network. The
design method was based on simulation and design guide from Agilent advanced design system.
Each student had different specifications to meet in the completion of this project.

Using the design guide, I was able to find the bias point of the bias network. After tuning, the
specifications were met or nearly achieved. Next, the transistor bias network was configured into
the four resistor common emitter configuration using Design Guide in ADS.
The bias network was tuned to minimize S11 and S22, create a low NF and high Gain
The input/output matching networks were based on the information from the design guide and
were created using the smith chart tool from the palette. The networks were tuned based on
GammaL and GammaS from the transistor bias tool. Conjugate matches were used to achieve
optimal performance.
Although overall perfect performance is desired, it is impossible for real components to behave
ideally; therefore, trade-offs must be made. I focused my design around achieving an adequate
noise figure, as this specification can be quite difficult to meet when using relatively large shunt
resistances to increase stability and output return loss.
Section 3: Stability Analysis
The transistor bias network was designed as a three resistor common emitter configuration as
opposed to four resistor network. Upon reflection, the four resistor network likely would have
afforded a greater deal of variability in which a proper output return loss could have been
achieved through tuning.
Proceeding with the three resistor network, the output matching network was tuned to improve
upon S22 whilst maintaining as low a noise figure as possible without compromising the
performance of the transistor, or gain. However, this proved to be difficult and led to the tuning
of the transistor bias network. The collector resistance, base capacitor, base resistor, output
capacitor, and the shunt output resistor were all tuned to optimize noise figure and output return
loss and maintain unconditional stability. The matching networks were designed to be a
3. EDOKPA 3
conjugate match to the inputs/outputs of the active network. This is done to insure stability and
gain.
Section 4: Gain, Noise Figure and Input/output Match Analysis
The preliminary design is composed of three different networks: the input matching network, the
output matching network, and the active transistor network. In order to achieve minimum noise
figure, maximum power transfer and maximum gain of the DUT, the matching networks must be
conjugately matched to deliver on the stated requirements. To be conjugately matched, the
reflection coefficients of the networks should be the conjugate of the reflection coefficient of the
active network at the source and the load, meaning that the imaginary or reactive component of
the impedance must be of the opposite value of the impedance seen at the source and load.

When compared to the simulated parasitic model, the measured results do not match up
exactly. In the measured results, the design did not perform within specifications at the design
frequency or even as the simulated results. When compared the measured results seem to have
shifted towards the low end of the graph. This underperformance of the circuit can be attributed
to a many host of things, including but not limited to: errors is fabrication, errors in soldering,
imperfections in components, and environmental conditions. The best way to account for these
undesired effects is to tune the design by altering the characteristics of the transmission lines and
the changing the value of the components.
Section 8: Summary
Throughout the design process of this low noise amplifier there were a few processes that
could have been streamlined to save time. For example, in the design of the Modelithics model
schematic and PCB layout, there were many times when the geometry and component values had
to be tuned and adjusted in order to successfully operate. If the tuning had been saved until after
the geometry of the PCB layout had been designed and then tuned returned to adjust the lines
and component values that would have been more helpful in expediting the design process of the
critical design factor.
With regards to the results of the fabricated printed circuit board, the results were
unexpectedly good. The physical low noise amplifier was anticipated to be drastically different
because of errors and non-idealities not accounted for by the Modelithics CLR components.
Although the gain specification was never met in the simulations of the parasitic model or the
measured results and with the additional failing of the output return loss of the measured results,
the overall performance of the low noise amplifier was good. To improve performance of future
design, a bias point located higher on the curve would indeed allow for more room to achieve
specifications.
