Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

In this paper, a wideband Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) incorporating negative feedback for achieving gain flatness over a wireless frequency range of 1–4 GHz has been proposed. The design combines transformer along with LC network for impedance matching at the ports for enhancing the overall performance of the LNA. The enhancement in gain without much effect on Noise Figure (NF) has been achieved using a two-stage LNA. A prototype of the proposed design has been developed using HBT as the transistor. The developed prototype on Rogers 4003 substrate provides a gain of approximately 25 dB and NF of 2.5 dB over the whole frequency range.
