Abstract In order to accelerate the design and production of RF
amplifier, an effective method is used to simulate and design the
amplifier firstly with EDA tool software. The functions and key
performance indicators of the low-noise amplifier are described
in this paper. We design a low-noise amplifier and simulate its
various parameters such as stability factor, noise figure, gain,
input and output VSWR, and we obtain the simulation results
and the final design of the circuit. The simulation results show
that the design of LNA meet the requirements.

CIRCUIT DESIGN
but for the output-port, reflectance is not very small and output
impedance is not as same as load impedance. So we should
design output match according to the input conditions. By
using the optimization tool of ADS, we can easily obtain the
responding output circuit. Input and output match circuit
design is a difficult work in the design of amplifier, but we can
easily design the circuit we require by using ADS, so it can
save much time for us. The whole circuit based on SP model is
can be seen as Figure 3.

In Figure 3, there are four micro strip, two terms which are
both 50 and input circuit in the design, then we use the
SSMATCH to design the input circuit and we use the micro
stripe line to build output circuit, and its indexes include:
H=0.8mm, Er=4.3, Mur=1.Here, H is micro strip lines base
board thickness, Er is relative dielectric constant and Mur is
relative permeability.
