고이득, 저잡음지수를 갖는 캐스코드 HBT-MMIC 증폭기 설계 = Design of Cascode HBT-MMIC Amplifier with High Cain and Low Noise Figure

국문 초록 (Abstract)

본 논문에서는 캐스코드 결합 HBT의 이미터와 베이스단에 인덕터를 설치하여 저잡음과 고이득 특성을 동시에 나타내는 MMIC-LNA 증폭기를 설계하였다. 제작된 MMIC 증폭단은 3mA, 2.7V의 바이어스 조건에서 이득은 3.7GHz에서 약 19dB, 잡음지수는 2.7dB를 보였으며, 35dBc의 이미지시호 제거 특성을 보였다. 저 잡음과 고 이득 특성을 갖는 캐스코드 MMIC 증폭단을 이용하여 마이크로파 수신기의 전단부의 설계가 가능함을 보였으며 이미지 제거 필터의 성능을 만족시키기 위하여 능동필터와 함께 설계할 경우 RF 수신 전단부의 완전한 MMIC 설계가 가능함을 알 수 있었다.

According to the design concept of microwave front-end, a low noise amplifier block using HBT cascode topology is proposed to provide high gain and low noise figure with low bias current. We has implemented MMIC-LNA with a modified configuration using inductors to show low noise at the emitter and base of cascoded HBT-MMIC amplifier. The measured performance of the designed MMIC-LNA at 3.7GHz are a gain of 19dB, noise figure of 2.7dB and image rejection of 35dBc using a supply of 3mA and 2.7V. We can convinced that cascoded amplifier block to fulfill a high gain, low noise and image rejection if microwave front-end receiver is designed by cascode MMEC-LNA with the active image rejection filter.
