Analysis of Design Parameters Reducing the Damage Rate of Low-Noise Amplifiers Affected by High-Power Electromagnetic Pulses

by Ji-Eun Baek, Young-Maan Cho, and Kwan-Cheol Ko

To protect the RF front end from electronic warfare, many studies have focused on damage phenomena of the low-noise amplifiers (LNAs). Existing studies have focused on the damage points of semiconductor devices because the peripheral circuit elements of LNAs are less susceptible to breakdown than nonlinear elements. However, their theoretical analysis is insufficient to explain the damage mechanism of LNAs under conditions such as changes in input power, frequency, and design parameters. To analyze the relationship between damage rate and parameters of the peripheral circuit of an LNA, this paper proposes a new definition of the power absorbed to a nonlinear element when input power to an LNA is very high by high-power electromagnetic pulses. In addition, LNAs having different input impedances and output impedances are designed to verify the power absorption. From the results, this paper identified parameters that increase the damage rate of LNAs, and suggested designs to reduce the damage rate. more...

On Trapped-Particle Effect on Shielding in Collisionless Plasmas

by Victor L. Krasovsky and Alexander A. Kiselyov
article two image
The contribution of charged particles moving on finite orbits near a charged spherical body to shielding of the body is discussed. By means of a numerical experiment simulating the process of charging of an absorbing sphere in plasma, it is shown that the net charge of the trapped-particle cloud arising around the sphere can reach very high values. The shielding under these conditions becomes strongly nonlinear in contrast to Debye shielding. more...
