Abstract
A circuit configuration is suggested for the design of fixed-gain amplifiers that are intended for integrated circuit fabrication and that require both accuracy and high-speed. The approach, which does not employ negative feedback, is demonstrated in both BJT and HBT processes. Fixed-gain amplifiers are designed and tested to a specification of 0.1% gain accuracy and bandwidths in excess of 2 GHz.
