This work is about the development of a super low noise amplifier with minimum power consumption and high gain for several wireless applications.The amplifier operates at frequency bands of 0.9-2.4 GHz and can be used in many applications like Wireless local area network(WLAN),WiFi,Bluetooth,ZigBee and Global System for mobile communications(GSM).This new design can be employed for the IEEE 802.15.4 standard in industrial,scientific and medical(ISM) Band.The enhancement mode pseudomorphic high electron mobility transistor PHEMT is used here due to its high linearity,better performance and less noisy operation.The common source inductive degeneration method is employed here to enhance the gain of amplifier.The amplifier produces a gain of more than 17 dB and noise figure of about 0.5 dB.The lower values of S11 and S22 reflect the accuracy of impedance matching network placed at the input and output sides of amplifier.Agilent Advance Design System(ADS) is used for the design and simulation purpose.Further the layout of design is developed on the FR4 substrate.

A novel tri-band bandpass filter(BPF) is proposed by using cross-coupled stepped impedance resonators(SIRs), which can operate at 2.4 GHz, 3.5 GHz and 5.25 GHz respectively. In engineering application, it is suitable for wireless local area network(WLAN) and worldwide interoperability for microwave access(Wi MAX). In addition, the passband of this filter can be easily controlled by changing the electrical parameters of the resonators. So it is helpful to the selection of passband in engineering applications. For in-depth analysis, the equivalent circuit of the filter is also proposed. At last, it shows that the measured results agree well with the simulated results. The insertion loss of the filter within each passband is less than 1.9 d B, meanwhile two transmission zeros are obtained which can be able to meet the engineering requirements.
A kind of dual-band-stop filter with an unsymmetrical T-shape defected ground structure (DGS) is proposed.The filter has two band gap centers at 4.9 GHz and 7.35 GHz, respectively, where the two centre frequencies are just the second and third harmonics 2.45 GHz.The filters with high band-stop performance and wideband spurious suppression can be achieved by cascading miniaturized unsymmetrical T-shape DGS.The attenuation of three-cascaded T-shape DGS filter is 30.77 dB at 4.9 GHz and 17.96 dB at 7.35 GHz respectively.The above experimental results are in good agreement with the simulation results, especially for the third harmonic.
