This paper describes how a broadband, 1.5 V, 0.85 - 13.35 GHz low noise amplifier in 0.15 mm 85 GHz PHEMT process is synthesized to simultaneously meet multiple design specifications such as bandwidth, noise f0 igure, power gain and power consumption. Power-constrained synthesis technique is used to design the broadband amplifier. The simulated peak S21 is 19.8 dB, maximum noise Figure is 2.5 dB, 3-dB bandwidth is 12.5 GHz and power consumption is 73.5 mW. The calculated Figure of merit (FOM) is better than many reported broadband low noise amplifier (LNA). |
