Abstract :
The authors report the realisation of wideband amplifiers using AllnAs/GaInAs transferred-substrate heterojunction bipolar transistors (HBTs). The first amplifier is in the fτ doubler configuration with an input emitter follower while the second is a Darlington stage designed for high gain. The former had a low frequency gain of 8.2 dB and a 3 dB bandwidth of 80 GHz. While the latter had a low frequency gain of 18 dB and a bandwidth of 50 GHz
