Abstract :
Summary form only given. A 36-element monolithic grid amplifier has been fabricated. The peak gain is 4 dB at 40 GHz with a 3-dB bandwidth of 800 MHz. We discuss the design and measurements for the monolithic grid amplifier. The grid includes base stabilizing capacitors which result in a highly stable grid. This is the first report of a successful monolithic grid amplifier.
