  • Abstract
    This paper presents the designs and measurement results of two monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) amplifiers. The driver amplifier demonstrated a measured gain of 8-11 dB from 9 to 25 GHz with a measured output P1dB of 12 dBm at 13.2 GHz. The LNA shows a linear gain of 28 dB with 3-dB noise figure from 25 to 35 GHz. The MMIC chips are fabricated with a 0.15-μm gate-length pseudomorphic (PM) GaAs-based HEMT MMIC technology carried out by commercially available foundry
