Abstract

We have optimally designed and implemented by a monolithic microwave integrated circuit(MMIC) the low noise amplifier(LNA) of 5.8GHz band composed of receiver front-end(RFE) in a on-board equipment system for dedicated short range communication using a depletion-mode GaAs MESFET. The LNA is provided with two active devices, matching circuits, and two drain bias circuits. Operating at a single supply of 3V and a consumption current of 18㎃, The gain at center frequency 5.8GHz is 13.4dB, Noise figure(NF) is 1.94dB, Input 3rd order intercept point(lIPS) is 3dBm, and Input return loss(5$_{11}$) and Output return loss(S$_{22}$) is -l8dB and -13.3dB, respectively. The circuit size is 1.2$\times$O.7$\textrm{mm}^2$.EX>.>.
