A broad-band amplifier using GaAs/GaAlAs heterojunction bipolar transistors

A compact wideband amplifier (or gain block) designed around a Darlington pair of GaAs/GaAlAs heterojunction bipolar transistors (HBTs) is discussed. This circuit has been fabricated by an ion-implanted process with a transistor f/sub t/ of 40 GHz. Two variants of the circuit gave either a 8.5-dB ga...

description A compact wideband amplifier (or gain block) designed around a Darlington pair of GaAs/GaAlAs heterojunction bipolar transistors (HBTs) is discussed. This circuit has been fabricated by an ion-implanted process with a transistor f/sub t/ of 40 GHz. Two variants of the circuit gave either a 8.5-dB gain with a DC-to-5-GHz 3-dB bandwidth or a 13-dB gain with a DC-to-3-GHz bandwidth. These amplifiers gave 11.8- and 18.3-dBm output, respectively, at 1-dB gain compression.< >
