Low-noise amplifier design for polarweather satellite receiver_Hariharan R.Subramani_E3_2006_NI
Satu penguat hingar rendah untuk sistem komunikasi satelit telah dibina. Sistem penguat hingar rendah ini direkabentuk supaya ia boleh digunakan sebagai bahagian depan kepada satu penerima satelit yang beroperasi dalam jalur UHF. Sistem penguat ini akan menguatkan isyarat UHF lemah yang diterima dari satelit dengan gandaan tinggi disertai angka hingar rendah sebelum menyalurkannya ke sistem yang berada di bahagian belakang. Rekabentuk penguat hingar rendah ini bermula dengan pemilihan komponen diskret aktif serta pasif yang betul sebelum melakukan penyelakuan dalam perisian Advanced Design System (ADS2005A) untuk mengetahui ciri-ciri pindah komponen aktif tersebut dan seterusnya melakukan pemadanan galangan. Seterusnya, papan litar bercetak juga direkabentuk melalui penggunaan perisian yang sama dan parameter-parameter litar yang terhasil akan diukur, direkodkan dan dibandingkan dengan keputusan yang didapati dengan penyelakuan. Keputusan yang didapati menunjukkan bahawa pemilihan komponen diskret pasif dan rekabentuk papan litar bercetak yang betul memainkan peranan yang penting dalam memastikan ciri-ciri litar yang dibina adalah hampir menyerupai prestasi litar yang diselaku. Pengukuran IP3, OIP3, angka hingar serta titik mampatan gandaan menggunakan penganalisis rangkaian, sumber hingar dan penganalisis spektrum juga dipersembahkan dalam laporan ini. ______________________________________________________________________________________ For undergraduate program, a low-noise amplifier for satellite communication system was designed. This low-noise amplifier would play the role as a front end of a satellite receiver that operates in the UHF band. The low-noise amplifier would perform amplification with reasonable gain on the weak signal received from the satellite while maintaining a low noise figure. The amplified signal would then be passed on to the succeeding stages. The design of the amplifier commences with the selection of the discrete components that will be used. After making the suitable passive and active component selection, the chosen microwave transistor model is then simulated in Advanced Design System (ADS2005A) to get the scattering parameters and stability figure. After impedance matching is done, the printed circuit board is designed with the same software. Finally, the resulting actual circuit performance are recorded down and then compared with the results obtained from simulation. The fabricated low-noise amplifier showed that choosing the right passive components and proper printed circuit board design plays an important role in ensuring that the fabricated circuit specification closely resembles the simulated counterpart. The measurement of IP3, OIP3, noise figure, gain and gain compression point (P1dB ) utilizing the network analyzer, noise source and spectrum analyzer are also presented here.
