The noise figure and gain characteristics of lossless and lossy MESFET distributed amplifiers have been theoretically investigated by various workers. In the letter, in order to support previously reported theoretical results, the experimentally measured noise figure and power gain performance of two-stage and five-stage hybrid microwave distributed amplifiers employing MESFETs are presented. The measured results are compared to theoretically obtained values and found to be in reasonable agreement over most of the band.
