43 Gbit/s automatic gain control amplifier based on InP SHBT technology

A high bandwidth automatic-gain-control (AGC) amplifier has been designed and characterised. Fabricated in InP single-heterojunctionbipolar transistor (SHBT) technology, the measured bandwidth of the amplifier is 36 GHz with maximum small signal gain 22 dB. Capable of operating at 43 Gbit=s, this is...

Zusammenfassung:	A high bandwidth automatic-gain-control (AGC) amplifier has been designed and characterised. Fabricated in InP single-heterojunctionbipolar transistor (SHBT) technology, the measured bandwidth of the amplifier is 36 GHz with maximum small signal gain 22 dB. Capable of operating at 43 Gbit=s, this is believed to be the fastest AGC amplifier reported to date.
