ABSTRACT:
An active load applied to the gate transmission line termination of distributed power devices reduces the low frequency noise power appearing at the output of the device. The active load, including at least one active device such as a field effect transistor, operates by transforming the input impedance of a low noise amplifier to the desired load impedance. The active load is connected to one end of an input transmission line having a plurality of impedances connected in electrical series. An input terminal is connected to the opposite end. An output transmission line, also having a plurality of impedances connected in series, has an output terminal at one end and a terminating output impedance at the other. A plurality of active devices are connected to junction points between the series connected impedances of the input and output lines.
