  • Abstract
    The authors present three amplifiers, operating at 36, 40 and 50GHz implemented in a low-cost 0.8mum Si/SiGe HBT technology which features an fT and fMAXof 80GHz. Each amplifier shows a high gain, a high isolation and a good linearity. The high performance is obtained by using appropriate design techniques such as cascode topology, DC filtering network and efficient isolation techniques
