Summary :

A novel design method for wideband low-noise multi-stage amplifiers is presented. It utilizes a RL-SFC (esistive oaded eries eedback ircuit) comprised of a series feedback circuit with additional lossy match stubs to achieve low noise figure, low VSWRs, flat gain, and high stability simultaneously. In addition, each stage amplifier employs a different approach for designing the RL-SFC to achieve the best compromise between noise figure, VSWR, gain, and stability as a multi-stage amplifier. With the use of this novel design method, the 3-stage amplifier has demonstrated the state-of-the-art wideband low-noise performance of 2.3 dB over 6 to 18 GHz.
