Abstract
An 8 mm band low noise amplifier was designed by using current reuse technique and fabricated with 0.15 μm PHEMT process. The chip dimension is 1.73 mm×0.75 mm×0.1 mm. The measured results from 32~38 GHz show a gain more than 21 dB, noise figure less than 1.85 dB, VSWR less than 2.5 and P1dB more than 7 dBm. The total power consumption with this technique is 5 V and 28 mA, which is about 40% lower than that of the traditional design.
