amplifiers were fabricated using a 35-nm InP HEMT technology and designed for room
temperature and cryogenic operation. A four-stage amplifier in a common-source topology
and a three-stage amplifier utilizing a cascode stage at the output achieve 15 to 25-dB on-
wafer measured gain from 160 to 270 GHz. When packaged in WR5 waveguide housings
the amplifiers exhibit room temperature measured noise of 600 to 760 K from 160 to 220 …
