  • Abstract
    In this paper, the design and realization of an integrated high frequency AGC amplifier in BiCMOS technology are discussed. The amplifier has 36 dB voltage gain, 4 GHz bandwidth, dynamic range exceeding 50 dB, low spectral distortion and low power consumption. The amplifier is suitable for application in wide-band optical telecommunication systems
