Abstract
Millimeter-wave monolithic integrated circuit (MIMIC)-based V-band low-noise amplifiers (LNA) were fabricated using high-performance 0.1-μ Γ-shaped pseudomorphic high electron mobility transistors (PHEMT's), coplanar waveguide structures, and an integrated process for passive and active devices. The LNA was designed in a chip size of 2.3×1.4 mm2 by using 2-stage PHEMT's with two 70-μm fingers. A high S21 gain of 14.9 dB and good matching at 60 GHz were achieved from the circuits, and a 20-dBm IP3 and 6.7-dB N Fmin were obtained from the LNA's.
