A 26 dB, 1.2 GHz wideband GaAs MESFET variable gain amplifier
Tóm tắt
As an example of analog circuit design in GaAs MESFET IC technology. which wants for the breadth of design techniques that silicon ICs enjoy. we describe here a monolithic amplifier offering a gain variable from 30 dB to below 0 dB. at a bandwidth in excess of 1 GHz, and matched to 5OΩ at the input and output pons. This may find application in wideband digital communication receivers. in fiber optics systems, or as a general we variable gain amplifier (VGA).
