Conclusion
There were three main goals:
Obtaining the correct S-parameters of the Agilent ATF-
54143 pHEMT over a wide frequency range.
Calculating the noise parameters of ATF-54143 at 1 GHz
to 3 GHz.
Improving the LNA design for better noise performance
and high gain.
Minimum Noise Figure is 0.7 dB and gain is 14 dB at 2.46
GHz frequency.
