1.1 OBJECTIVE
Build a solid understanding above design methodology and learning CAD tools which are recognized under the industry standard. Fabricating the Broadband
Amplifier design and get the measurements, by using network analyzer to check the desired outcomes in Ku band.
1.2 ABSTRACT
According to the course unit system we have to do two undergraduate projects in the 7th & 8th semesters. We have selected the project ‘Broadband Amplifier Design for operation in Ku band’ for both semesters. As the objective, our main task is design, fabricating, and test the Broadband Amplifier. The signals, which are in the range of 10.75GHz to 13.75GHz, are known as Ku band microwave signals. The Broadband Amplifier is an important design component over wide range of frequencies in a microwave receiver.
The Broadband Amplifier design is to be done with Micro strip RF circuit design techniques and the required specifications are derived from the System level design. Therefore the system level design has to be done first. The Satellite Low Noise Block (LNB) is selected for system level design, which is one of the suitable applications for Broadband Amplifier. Receiving signal frequency is in
