The lumped element transformation did not meet specifications for stability factor or input gain. Stabilization using a resistor met stability specifications but lowered the input gain and increased noise figure. Converting to a distributed element transformation met all specifications for stability factor, noise figure, and input gain, but introduced a ripple at 1.7GHz.

Lumped element transformation Stabilization using resistor distributed element transformation Characteristic Stability factor, k K=0.597, The value of stability K=1.123, The value of K=1.135, The value of factor didn’t meet the specification stability factor has meet the stability factor has meet the as required. So, the amplifier at specification as required to specification as required to lumped element transformation ensure the amplifier be ensure the amplifier be cannot be operated as needed since working. working. the stability value is less than 1. Noise figure, NF Nf=1.271dB, The value of noise Nf=1.329dB, The value of Nf=0.714dB, The value of figure has meet the specification as noise figure has meet the noise figure has meet the required where it should be below specification as required specification as required 2dB. If the noise greater than 2dB, where it should be below where it should be below the low noise amplifier cannot be 2dB. After adding a resistor 2dB. The nf value is very operated. inside the circuit, the value small compared with the of nf is higher than before lumped element and the adding a resistor but this stabilization using resistor. amplifier still can be operated since nf value are not over the limit value.
