Abstract

In this paper, a low noise amplifier(LNA) in a receiver of a low noise block down converter (LNB) for direct broadcasting service(DBS) is implemented using GaAs HEMT. The LNA is designed for the bandwidth of 11.7 GHz-12.2 GHz. The two-stage LNA consists of a input matching circuit, a output matching circuit, DC-blocks and RF-chokes. Experimental results of the LNA show the noise figure less than 1.4 dB, the gain greater than 23 dB and the flatness of 1 dB in the bandwidth of 11.7 to 12.2 GHz.
