An X-Band AlGaN/GaN MMIC Receiver Front-End
Journal article, 2010
This letter presents an integrated AlGaN/GaN X-band receiver front-end. This is to the authors knowledge the first published results of an integrated AlGaN/GaN MMIC receiver front-end. The receiver uses an integrated SPDT switch to reduce size, weight and cost compared to circulator based transceiver front-ends. The integrated front-end has more than 13 dB of gain and a noise figure of 3.5 dB at 11 GHz.
