In this paper, wideband two-stage amplification stage was designed, fabricated and evaluated. The proposed amplification stage with a novel gain control method have a high gain, low noise and high linearity performance. It is consisted of common emitter amplifier as the first stage, cascode gain control amplifier as second stage and power detector which sense the received signal strength. The proposed amplification stage shows a total gain of 29 dB~37 dB, noise fiugre of 1.5 dB at operating band and high linearity performance as the IMD (third intermodulation distortion) level is below the noise level of the measurement equipment at the control voltage 2.0 V generated from power detector under the strong electric field condition.

In this paper, the performance of the narrowband channelized radiometer that have a short detection time and high time-resolution was verified based on the theoretical formula. According to the simulation result, the channelized radiometer showed 2.5 dB superior detection performance compared to the broadband radiometer, but is more sensitive to the effects of noise than the broadband radiometer. Also the signal-to-noise of a channelized radiometer was changed dramatically according to the hop rate and jitter effect, which is linearly decreased as the change of two parameters.
