Abstract
A straightforward graphical procedure for the design of monolithic traveling wave amplifiers (TWAs) based on Chebyshev filter theory is described. Compared with conventional methods, a TWA with different gate widths results. Significant improvement of the Chebyshev TWA in relation to input and output reflection characteristics compared with those obtained by the conventional procedure is evident. As an example a four-FET TWA is investigated.<>
