摘要
Reported is the realisation of a graphene FET microwave amplifier operating at 1 GHz, exhibiting a small-signal power gain of 10 dB and a noise figure of 6.4 dB. The amplifier utilises a matching inductor on the gate yielding a return loss of 20 dB. The design is optimised for maximum gain and the optimum noise figure is extracted by noise modelling and predicted to be close to 1 dB for the intrinsic graphene FET at this frequency. The presented results complement existing graphene FET applications and are promising for future graphene microwave circuits.
