ACADEMIC PROJECTS

Q-based design of an LNA (2017)

Analyzed and designed single stage inductively source degenerated cascode LNA at 1.84GHz

The amplifier was designed for a low Noise Figure of <1.8 dB, Gain > 15dB, IIP3(input) >- 10dBM and Return loss <10 dB at 1.84GHz

Using AWR Microwave Office and Cadence Virtuoso to optimize the trade-off between noise figure, gain, bandwidth, stability and return loss

Design, Simulation, Milling and Testing of Passive RF & Microwave Components (2017)

Passive Design: MMIC filter, Microstrip Resonators, Microstrip 3-dB Wilkinson power divider, Edge Coupled Directional coupler, Butterworth low-pass filter, Chebyshev 0.5 dB ripple low-pass microstrip filter

Performed EM Simulation (AXIEM), Tested circuit performances in the lab, compared predicted and measured specifications

Cascade Two-Stage Low Noise Amplifier Design using the NEC 710 Low Noise Transistor (2017)

Designed two-stage Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) with Input, Output and Inter-stage matching networks and simulated in AWR

The amplifier was designed for a low Noise Figure of <2 dB, Gain >18dB & Return loss<10 dB at 10GHz

Obtained gain of 20.8 dB, NF of 1.96dB, BW3dB of 3.389 GHz and BW20dB of 5.923GHz and unconditional stable.
