Abstract

We report 200 GHz InP DHBT low noise amplifiers in common base (CB) and common emitter (CE) topologies, together with a design procedure based on minimum noise measure. The CB design shows 7.4±0.7 dB noise figure over 196-216 GHz, 14.5 dB gain and -21.1 dBm Pin1dB at 200 GHz, and dissipates 9.2 mW, while the CE design shows 7.2±0.4 dB noise figure over 196-216 GHz, 13 dB gain and -18.2 dBm Pin1dB at 200 GHz, and dissipates 19.22 mW. To the authors' knowledge, these results demonstrate record noise figure for bipolar transistor amplifiers operating near 200 GHz.
