Abstract
This article introduces the next-generation air surveillance system and investigates how to design of front-end low noise amplifier of the ground station receiver. In consideration of the international standard documentation and the performance of existing products, the study conducts the link budget on the entire system so that it can be competitive in terms of receive sensitivity or reliability. To obtain a proper low noise amplifier, standards of design are decided so that such factors as gain, gain flatness, and reflective loss can be optimal. In its design, the bias circuit appropriate for the characteristics of low power, low noise, or high gain was built, and according to the results of the simulation conducted after the optimal design, its gain was 16.24dB, noise factor was 0.36dB, input-output reflective loss was -18dB and -28dB each, and frequency stability was 1.11. According to the results measured after the design, its gain was 17dB, noise factor was 0.51dB, gain flatness was 0.23dB, and input-output reflective loss was -18.28dB and -24.50dB each, so the results gained were suitable for building the overall system.
본 논문에서는 차세대 항공 감시시스템에 대하여 소개하고, 지상국 수신기 전단부 저잡음 증폭기 설계에 관하여 연구하였다. 국제 표준 문서와 기존 제품의 성능을 고려하여 수신감도, 신뢰성 등이 경쟁력 있게 전체 시스템을 링크 버짓 하였으며, 이에 적합한 저잡음 증폭기를 얻기 위해 이득, 이득 평탄도, 반사손실 등을 최적이 되도록 설계 규격을 결정하였다. 설계시 저전력, 저잡음, 고이득 특성에 적합한 바이어스 회로를 구성하였으며, 최적 설계 후 실시한 모의실험 결과로 이득은 16.24dB, 잡음지수는 0.36dB, 입출력 반사손실은 각각 -18dB와 -28dB, 주파수 안정도는 1.11을 얻었고, 제작 후 측정 결과는 이득 17dB, 잡음지수 0.51dB, 이득 평탄도 0.23dB, 입출력 반사손실은 각각 -18.28dB, -24.50dB로 전체 시스템 구성에 적합한 결과를 얻었다.
