A low-noise amplifier operating at 2.4 GHz has been fabricated with MO
SFET's in silicon-on-sapphire technology, The amplifier has a 2.8-dB n
oise figure, IO-dB gain, and 14-dBm output referred IP3 with 14-mW pow
er dissipation, The amplifier was matched for minimum noise with on-ch
ip spiral inductors and capacitors.
