A novel technique for computer-aided design of low noise microwave amplifiers

摘要

A description is presented of a new CAD technique for microwave low-noise amplifiers. It is based on a preliminary analysis procedure that, starting from the knowledge of the noise and scattering parameters of the chosen active device, allows the designer to determine the best compromise among transducer gain, noise figure, and input VSWR. Design is carried out providing separate independent equalizer synthesis whose goal functions are consistent with the selected specifications.
