Low noise design with a specify power gain

Initially, choose text_wrap_inline3405. Compute the output stability circle and to check whether the position of text_wrap_inline3319 is sufficient far away from the output stability circle, if not, change text_wrap_inline2883 to accept higher noise based on the overlay of noise circles. For a given choice of text_wrap_inline2883, compute the input stability circle and overlay with constants operating gain circles. Choose a load termination on the gain circle which has the value of the specified gain and it should be in the stable region and far away the input stability circle, if not, change text_wrap_inline2883 to accept higher noise based on the overlay of noise circles. And repeat the whole process such that a compromise can be reached on the value of noise figure and stability. Usually we can obtain higher gain values for a degradation in the noise figure.
