摘要
In this paper, we report and design a new kind of AlGaN/GaN/InGaN/GaN high electron mobility transistor (HEMT), consisting of T-shaped gate with low resistance contacts, and the performance of a cascode topology low noise amplifier (LNA) with shunt-feedback technique for wideband and flat gain, based on mentioned HEMT. The proposed LNA has approximate to 17.5dB of gain from 3 to 10GHz with a noise figure of 0.7-1.1dB in the band of interest. The direct current (DC) and radio frequency advantages of the reported HEMT and the superior flat gain performance of the cascode LNA are demonstrated.
