Abstract
Gain profiles along the line joining the USC (unit Smith chart) center and the SC (stability circle) center for conditionally stable and unconditionally amplifiers are important for amplifier design. SC intersects the USC at two invariant points if |k|<1. K, B and D factors can be used to classify the gain profiles. This paper illustrates the gain profiles along the line joining the USC center and SC center for different K, B and D factors
