An introduction on the development of 24 -38 GHz low noise amplifier MMIC is offered in this paper. The noise features of the microwave transistor amplifier are analyzed to obtain noise coefficient and gain, according to which LNA simulation and optimization are carried out using software. Circuit layout is then designed according to a standard 3-inch GaAs technical line. A 0.2 μm T-shaped gate is formed by using electron beam technique. Both the Idss and Vp in this design are precisely controlled by selective etching technology. Microwave test results indicate that the LNA can achieve a maximum noise level of 3.8 dB, a minimum small signal gain of 13 dB, with a gain flatness less than ±0.6 dB, and an input and output VSWR higher than 2 : 1. The test results show a microwave property similar to ALH140C, a device of the same kind manufactured by Northrop Grumman.
