Abstract
Two X-band LNA ICs have been demonstrated using a 0.15 /spl mu/m metamorphic GaAs HEMT technology. The amplifiers have an average noise figure of 0.5 dB and power gain greater than 31 dB from 7-10 GHz. A current-shared version had gain flatness better than 1 dB, return losses greater than 11 dB, and power consumption of 42 mW. A high linearity version has an output third-order intercept point greater than 20.5 dBm from 6-12 GHz.
