Abstract

This paper presents a broadband LNA MMIC design with 0.1um GaAs pHEMT process. The peak power gain of 22dB with 3dB bandwidth of 31GHz from 73GHz to 104GHz, and the minimum noise figure of 3.6dB at 82GHz have been achieved by the 4-stage LNA. The input and output return loss is less than -10dB within full W-band. This well-designed LNA with a compact size of 1.75×0.55mm2 will be utilized for passive millimeter-wave imaging (PMWI) application.
