Abstract
In this paper, we review the merit of the single
stage distributed amplifier (SSDA) and consider the potential
of its derivative multiplicative amplifier topologies (the cascaded
and the matrix SSDA) for ultra-wideband amplification. We
highlight the significant bandwidth advantage that the SSDA
topology offers and the higher gain potential of multiplicative
DAs compared to the conventional multi-stage DA. Furthermore,
we describe how available design trade-offs may be used to
offset inherent noise performance limitations of this family of
distributed amplifiers. We also report a new SSDA MMIC with
7.1 dB gain at 200 GHz bandwidth and a high frequency gain
tuning range of 5 dB to 12 dB, based on an Indium Phosphide
DHBT process with 250 nm emitter width.
