  • Abstract
    The feasibility of full-band low-noise instantaneous amplification in Ka band has been demonstrated using a staggered-gain amplifier technique. A simplified analysis of the overall gain variations in this two-stage amplifier is used to calculate the minimum isolation levels needed to meet a maximum allowable ripple. Using this technique, 10 ± 2.2-dB gain has been obtained from 26.6-39.4 GHz.
