Low noise microwave amplifier design

Abstract

Microwave amplifiers are one of the key building blocks of radar and communication systems. The modem communication systems place stringent requirements on the performance of the amplifiers, which in turn impacts the overall system performance. This tutorial will present the theory and technique of designing microwave amplifiers. The design of a low noise amplifier for wireless communication will be used as an examnple to illustrate the techniques, and the design and analysis capabilities ofmodem CAD software. Biography: Mojeeb Bin Ihsan earned his PhD Degree from Drexel University. Philadelphia, PA, USA, in 1993. His field of research work is solid-state electronics, microwave passive and active circuits and superconducting microwave filters. At present he is Associate Professor in the Electrical Engineering Department of College of E&ME, National University of Sciences and Technology. He is leading a well-funded research group, started in June 2003, working on the development of electronic systems. The R&D team includes about five collaborating faculty members, 14 design engineers and fifteen graduate students. He has 15 international publications to his credit.
