Cascode Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) with Negative Feedback for Long Term Evolution (LTE)

Abstract

Abstract Every now and then communication technology continuing to evolved to fulfil the market especially in mobile traffics of wireless technology demanding for high-rise data rates affecting radio frequency bandwidths to affirming specific performance. Utilizing unlicensed bandwidths of 5.8 GHz, the cascode low noise amplifier (LNA) enable to associate with long term evolution (LTE) standard without detracting degradation of service aspects. Considering LNA that positioned as a front-end in receiver block system in managing transmit the signal it benefit the LTE RF requirement become novelty in this design that plays crucial role. This paper focuses on designing and analysis of cascode low noise amplifier (LNA) adopted negative feedback and T-matching network at the input and output ports to emphasize trade-offs between parameters of gain, noise figure, sensitivity and stability. Pseudomorphic High Electron Mobility Transistor (PHEMT) FHX76LP manufactured by Eudyna Devices Inc is selected and the design is stimulated by using Advance Design System tool (ADS). From the analysis resulting LNA shows a maximum gain (S21) of 20.199 dB and return loss (S12) of −23. 585 dB with minimum noise figure of 0.360 dB with 2V supply. Meanwhile, the input reflection (S11) and output return loss (S22) are −11. 101 dB and −13. 714 dB respectively.
