A Review on Tunable Low-Noise Amplifier for Ku/Ka-Band SATCOM Systems

Research output: Contribution to journalReview articlepeer-review

Abstract

Satellite communication, or SATCOM, is expanding quickly and piques the interest of researchers due to the growing need for greater data transmission speeds. In satellite communication, the Ku/Ka-band is regarded as the major frequency range due to its broad bandwidth capacity. Radio receivers in the Ku/Ka-band for satellite television require the low-noise amplifier (LNA), a crucial building piece at the receiver end. In this work, several high out-of-the-band rejection LNAs are thoroughly analyzed. Key parameters and design topologies for Ku- and Ka-band SATCOM systems and applications form the basis of this review. Comprehensive examples are also provided for the high out-of-band active and passive rejection/filtering techniques.
