| description | For undergraduate program, a low-noise amplifier for satellite communication
system was designed. This low-noise amplifier would play the role as a front end of a
satellite receiver that operates in the UHF band. The low-noise amplifier would perform
amplification with reasonable gain on the weak signal received from the satellite while
maintaining a low noise figure. The amplified signal would then be passed on to the
succeeding stages. The design of the amplifier commences with the selection of the
discrete components that will be used. After making the suitable passive and active
component selection, the chosen microwave transistor model is then simulated in
Advanced Design System (ADS2005A) to get the scattering parameters and stability
figure. After impedance matching is done, the printed circuit board is designed with the
same software. Finally, the resulting actual circuit performance are recorded down and
then compared with the results obtained from simulation. The fabricated low-noise
amplifier showed that choosing the right passive components and proper printed circuit
board design plays an important role in ensuring that the fabricated circuit specification
closely resembles the simulated counterpart. The measurement of IP3, OIP3, noise
figure, gain and gain compression point (P1dB) utilizing the network analyzer, noise
source and spectrum analyzer are also presented here. |
