摘要
A monolithic low-noise amplifier for operation in the 23-GHz band is presented The circuit has been designed utilizing an advanced 0.2-micron SiGe heterojunction bipolar technology, featuring npn transistors with f(T) and f(max) of about 90- and 100-GHz, respectively. Measurements show a gain of 21-dB and noise figure of 4.1-dB at 23-GHz, which compare reasonably well with simulated results. The circuit consumes 20-mA from a 2.5-V single supply. To our knowledge, 23 GHz band is the highest operation frequency reported so far for LNA in SiGe technology.
