Abstract

This paper is presents, a Ku-band MMIC Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) design for commercial satellite payload. In this paper, MMIC design topology and Electromagnetic (EM) simulation results are presented. A two stage MMIC LNA is design with a gain of 18.8dB, NF less than 0.9dB in the frequency bandwidth 14.5-14.75 GHz while the power consumption is 54mW. MMIC LNA is designed with 70nm GaAs OMMIC D007IH m-HEMT process technology. The chip size is 2.75x2.30mm(2).
