Abstract

This paper presents the development of a Ku-band Low Noise Amplifier with the Noise figure of 1.4dBmax, the gain of 35dB, and the In/Out Return toss of -22dB/-18dB in the frequency range from 14 to 14.5GHz for Satellite transponders. All RF components were assembled using a hybrid technology with 15-mil thin-film substrates. The mechanical and thermal design of the housing was performed considering a vibration and a vacuum of space environment.
