  • Abstract
    A three-stage nonuniform downsized distributed amplifier is realized in a 0.18μm SiGe process, using CMOS transistors only. The amplifier achieves the differential forward gain of 7.8dB over a 25GHz bandwidth and an IIP3 of +4.7dBm. The 1.025×1.29mm2 chip dissipates 54mW from a 1.8V supply.
