title = "Minimum noise figure of SiGe HBTs under different operation configurations",
abstract = "Minimum noise figure (NF min) of SiGe HBTs under common-base (CB) configuration is analyzed through noise modeling, calculation and measurements and compared with that under CE operation configuration. Results show that the two configurations have similar NF min at low frequencies. At high frequencies, the CB configuration has higher NF min than the CE configuration, while higher gain is exhibited by the CB configuration than the CE configuration. Tradeoff between NF min and power gain ought to be considered for circuits design in employing different configurations.",
