Low noise metamorphic HEMT devices and amplifiers on GaAs substrates

Abstract
Excellent noise (0.41 dB minimum noise figure with 11.5 dB associated gain at 18 GHz) and linearity (third order intercept point of 37.6 dBm at 42.5 mW DC power giving a linearity figure of merit (LFOM) of 137) have been obtained for InAlAs-InGaAs metamorphic HEMTs on a GaAs substrate. These devices have been used to design and fabricate microwave and millimeter wave amplifiers. Amplifier results are presented.
