Integrated Ultra-Low Noise Microwave Amplifiers

This book presents the theoretical foundations of low-noise amplifier (LNA) design, with a particular focus on ultra-low-noise amplifiers. It introduces various noise types and sources in semiconductors, examines semiconductor processes (e.g., SiGe, HEMT, MOSFET, SOI, and MMIC) for both passive and active components, and explains noise and impedance-matching techniques, noise measurement methods, ...
