Abstract :
In this paper a non-uniform distributed amplifier is presented. Decreasingly scaling of the device and inductor sizes of a distributed amplifier will result in a better voltage and power gain-bandwidth product. A comprehensive analytical study has been done and simulations confirm the superiority of the proposed nonuniform distributed amplifier compared to its conventional counterpart in terms of a better gain-bandwidth product and more flat frequency response.
