Abstract

In this work various low noise amplifiers are designed for X band applications which ranges from 8 GHz to 12 GHz and the center frequency considered is 10.5 GHz. This frequency is used for Police Speed RADAR Application. For improving the stability of the amplifier inductive source degeneration methodology is used which not only improves the stability of the amplifier but also increases the signal strength i.e. improves the gain with minimum change in the noise figure. With the help of this technique a high power gain of 13.051 dB and optimum noise figure of 1.468 dB and minimum VSWR of 1.007 at the source side and 1.022 at the load side of the amplifier.
