This paper presents an integrated millimeter-wave (mmW) low noise amplifler (LNA) which is implemented by using 0.15-"m baseline GaAs pHEMT technology. The design utilized mod- ifled co-planar waveguide (CPW) to perform a slow wave transmission line (TLine) with electromagnetic band gap (EBG) ground structures for the input/output matching networks. The low noise V-band LNA chip size was hence reduced by adopting the new EBG transmission lines. The developed amplifler exhibited a noise flgure of 6.21dB, and a peak gain of 17.3dB at 66GHz. Additionally, the amplifler has linear characteristics and its measured third-order intercept (IIP3) point is greater than i0:5dBm under a dc power consumption of 75mW.
