Design of An Optimal Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) for Signal Boosting
The purpose of a Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) is to amplify received signals to acceptable levels while minimizing noise. The LNA is used in communication systems to amplify very weak signals captured by an antenna. The design of an LNA in Microwave circuits requires a trade-off or careful balance of many important parameters such as Gain, Noise Figure (NF), and Stability. In view of this, it is essential to make calculated choices to realize an optimally functioning LNA. This paper presents a single stage 2.0 GHz LNA optimal design using lumped elements (discrete passive components) for the input and output matching networks. The Radio Frequency (RF) transistor used for this design is the ATF-21170, which is modelled by its Scattering (S) parameters. This is a high performance, low noise Gallium Arsenide Schottky barrier-gate Field Effect Transistor. The LNA is designed using conventional techniques to boost weak cell signals in the frequency range of 1.8GHz to 2.6GHz. The design is done with the aid of Advanced Design System (ADS) 2020 software. The LNA was successfully designed at an operating frequency of 2.0GHz with a gain of 14dB and a minimum noise figure (NFmin) of 0.83dB.

Remote Sensing Information is a bimonthly academic journal supervised by the Ministry of Natural Resources of the People's Republic of China and sponsored by China Academy of Surveying and Mapping Science. Since its inception in 1986, it has been one of the authoritative journals in the field of remote sensing in China.In 2014, it was recognised as one of the first batch of national academic journals, and was awarded the honours of Core Journals of China Science Citation Database, Chinese Core Journals, and Core Journals of Science and Technology of China. The journal won the Excellence Award (First Prize) of the National Excellent Surveying, Mapping and Geographic Information Journal Award in 2011 and 2017 respectively.
Remote Sensing Information is dedicated to reporting the cutting-edge theoretical and applied results of remote sensing science and technology, promoting academic exchanges at home and abroad, and promoting the application of remote sensing science and technology and industrial development. The journal adheres to the principles of openness, fairness and professionalism, abides by the anonymous review system of peer experts, and has good social credibility. The main columns include Review, Theoretical Research, Innovative Applications, Special Reports, International News, Famous Experts' Forum, Geographic National Condition Monitoring, etc., covering various fields such as surveying and mapping, forestry, agriculture, geology, meteorology, ocean, environment, national defence and so on.
Remote Sensing Information aims to provide a high-level academic exchange platform for experts and scholars in the field of remote sensing at home and abroad, to enhance academic influence, and to play a role in promoting and supporting the protection of natural resources, green technology innovation, and the construction of ecological civilisation.
