Abstract

This paper presents the design and simulation of 2-stage low-noise amplifier (LNA) for the application UHF range used for wireless communications and low-noise amplifier with bandwidth 800 M–1.2 GHz with optimization by using Enhancement Mode Pseudomorphic HEMT ATF34143 from Avago Technologies. The design and simulation uses lumped elements to implement the matching networks and proposed 2-stage is to achieve considerable gain. A 2-stage LNA has successfully designed and simulated with up to 33 dB forward gain, less than 0.58 dB noise figure and with good Voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) from 1.5 to 1.6 at both input and output side by using advanced wireless revolution (AWR) Microwave office tool.
