Abstract
Low dynamic range is a main problem in radar frontend receiver. In this thesis, a Radio Frequency (RF) amplifier is designed to improve dynamic range using negative feedback. Negative feedback is a trade-off between gain and linearity. Negative feedback reduces the non-linear distortion, leading to a higher third input interception point. The RF amplifier Integrated Circuit is designed and laid out using the Gallium Arsenide Pseudomorphic High Electron Mobility Transistor technologies due to its bandwidth and low noise figure performance. The simulations confirms the efficacy of negative feedback for realizing wide dynamic range RF amplifiers operating at 10 GHz range.
