In this paper, We designed the multi-stage amplifier having high gain/low noise characteristics for terrestial repeater of direct digital satellite broadcasting system. In the design the amplifier, we optimized the parameters to have the stable operation between gain, noise figure and stability. The first stage of amplifier can be specified low noise impedance matching, 2nd stage to 5th stage show constant gain and stable operation and final stage of amplifier shows high gain impedance matching. As a result of experiment at the frequency of digital satellite terrestial, show 68dB gain under 2,4dB noise figure and 63dB dynamic range in the 11.7GHz-12.7GHz frequency range, it is a good agreement of communication channel amplifier requirements for satellite terrestial repeater.

In the design of microwave multi-stage amplifiers composed of N amplifier modules, the variation of performances of amplifier as various connection length between modules has been studied. In addition, the methods, equations and conditions for the maximum gain or the most flat gain are presented. The results of sensitivity analysis for the connection length showed that the small change in phase of input, output reflection coefficients(S$_{11}$, S$_{22}$) of module itself is the most important in determination of connection length for the most flat gain. Th egain flatness of 2-module amplifier of which connection length between modules had been determined by presented methods was the best one out of performances with various arbitrary connectio lengths.s.
