Improved High-Frequency Compensation for Wide-Band Amplifiers

In order to obtain the best results from wide-band amplifiers of the type employed in television video amplifier and cathode-ray amplifier circuits, it is usually desirable to provide a means for producing high-frequency-response compensation. It is the purpose of this paper to show how, by proper design and at no additional cost, a single compensating element can be made to provide compensation equivalent to that obtainable in a circuit using two compensating elements and to discuss the characteristics of this type of compensation. The circuit under consideration will provide uniform response to a frequency approximately half an octave higher than that obtained with the single compensating element circuit extensively used at the present time.
