摘要
A microwave monolithic integrated circuit （MMIC） C-band low noise amplifier （LNA） using 1 μm-gate composite-channel Al0.3Ga0.7N/Al0.05Ga0.95N/GaN high electron mobility transistors （CC-HEMTs） has been designed, fabricated and characterized. The material structure and special channel of CC-HEMT were given and analysed. The MMIC LNA with CC-HEMT showed a noise figure of 2.4 dB, an associated gain of 12.3 dB, an input return loss of -6 dB and an output return loss of -16 dB at 6GHz. The IIP3 of the LNA is 13 dBm at 6 GHz. The LNA with 1 μm ×100 μm device showed very high-dynamic range with decent gain and noise figure.
