Low noise amplifier and Radiometer - RF Cafe Forums

The original RF Cafe Forums were shut down in late 2012 due to maintenance issues - primarily having to spend time purging garbage posts from the board. At some point I might start the RF Cafe Forums again if the phpBB software gets better at filtering spam.

Below are the old forum threads, including responses to the original posts.

Hi!

Sorry if Im asking a silly question. I really new in this RF stuff. Currently i'm plan to design a basic radiometer receiver. The idea is just a horn antenna feed to detector and then to LNA before send to integrator. The detector that I will be using will give outpur from Dc to 1Ghz. My current problem is to obtain an LNA operate from Dc to 1Ghz with a very low noise figure ( if possible less than 1) which I still can't find it. My question is .. is it easy to design a LNA from Dc to 1Ghz with less than 1 NF?

If it durable ...I plan to use a PHEMT transistor but I only found PHEMT transistor operates from a few megaHetz to Ghz. None from Dc to Ghz. Is such PHEMt exist?
