Based on the InP HEMT technology, these LNAs provide state-of-the-art performance as well as excellent yield and repeatability. With greater than 50% chip yield, a three-stage Q-band LNA design achieved 26 to 31 dB of gain from 42 to 50 GHz and 1.8 dB average noise figure from 43.3 to 45.7 GHz. In addition, there are six other LNA designs including a four-stage V-band LNA with 28 dB of gain and 2.3 dB noise figure and a two-stage balanced Q-band LNA that provided 17 dB of gain and has greater than 61% yield.","PeriodicalId":227834,"journal":{"name":"IEEE 1996 Microwave and Millimeter-Wave Monolithic Circuits Symposium.
