Abstract :
DC-15 GHz 1.7 Volts and DC-30 GHz 3 Volts wideband amplifiers and 40 GHz, 3 Volts narrowband amplifier with bandwidth of about 200 MHz have been designed and fabricated in Hughes Research Laboratories´ InP-HBT technology. The 15 GHz amplifier is based on a differential stage with emitter degeneration resistors and the 30 GHz and 40 GHz amplifiers utilize trans-impedance, trans-admittance structures
