  • Abstract
    A monolithic matched, two-stage wideband amplifier with an insertion gain of 26dB and a ¿ 3dB bandwidth of 3-2GHz is reported. Optimally designed cascode circuits are used to enhance the gain-bandwidth product available per stage. The IC has been fabricated in a I¿ depletion GaAs MESFET technology.
