  • Abstract
    An improved double cascode self-bootstrapping technique for gain enhancements in GaAs MESFET opamps is proposed. The experimental results show that this new configuration can provide a high output impedance and a significant reduction in area. A single stage opamp using this technique shows a midband gain of 48 dB and a unity-gain frequency of 500 MHz.
