  • Abstract
    A low-power RF wideband amplifier is presented. It has a 24.3 dB power gain, -3 dB bandwidth of 3.2 GHz, and consumes 23.7 mW power with a 2 V power supply. The circuit is implemented using Si bipolar process, NT25, which has fT of 25 GHz. Both input and output impedances are matched at 50 ohms. This amplifier is suitable for applications that require wide bandwidth and high linearity in the range of 1 to 3 GHz
