A Compact, Balanced Low Noise Amplifier for WiMAX Base Station Applications

This article presents the design and development of a balanced low noise amplifier suitable for WiMAX base station applications. The balanced low noise amplifier employs a compact 3 dB branch line coupler and advanced GaAs E-PHEMT technology to realize...
Base station applications for WiMAX require low noise amplifiers (LNA) with low noise figures, high linearity, compact size, and excellent input and output return loss. 1 A balanced amplifier topology is often the preferred choice in LNA applications for base station transceiver front-ends, because it presents several advantages over...
