ABSTRACT:
An impedance matching and bias feed network for interfacing to a low noise amplifier of a receiver section of an electrically steered phased array antenna. The impedance matching and bias feed network includes an inductor and capacitor network for impedance transformation while providing in shunt with a 50 ohm input side of the network a gate bias path via the inductor to the low noise amplifier thereby substantially reducing the receiver noise figure.
