Abstract

A 10 Gb/s low noise preamplifier based on a 0.2 μm GaAs PHEMT is theoretically analyzed, simulated, and taped out for verification. A common-source topology is adopted to reduce the noise and enhance the sensitivity. The test results show that under a single supply voltage of 3.3 V, the preamplifier has a trans-impedance of 57.8 dB·Ω with a bandwidth of over 10 GHz. The chip's area is 0.5 mm × 0.4 mm. According to the test results the preamplifier can operate well at 10 Gb/s.
