Abstract :
A new ultra-broadband amplifier configuration which operates over the frequency range 2-18 GHz is presented. The concept of a cascaded reactively terminated single stage distributed amplifier is shown to exhibit higher gain and superior efficiency performance compared with the conventional travelling amplifier design approach
