An overview of low noise devices and associated circuits for 100-200 GHz space applications (2003)

Abstract

This paper relates the state of the art of the HEMT low noise technologies for the space applications at millimeter wave and specially for the earth observation in the G-band (140 – 220 GHz)).The different III-V technologies (HEMT and LNA)and their associated performance are presented.Parameters limiting the improvement of high frequency characteristics for HEMTs with the downscaling process are studied.
