Abstract :
This paper reports the design, simulations and measurements of a differential cascode amplifier cell in InP DHBT. From transistor with fT/fmax reaching 370/340 GHz, this circuit is able to provide a bandwidth of more than 110 GHz, with a maximal differential gain of 9 dB at 90 GHz, and a total peaking of 11dB. This circuit constitutes a promising building block for analog equalizer structures dedicated to 100-Gb/s optical communication systems.
