Abstract :
The authors describe an advanced MMIC amplifier providing a 20-dB gain block over the 2-20-GHz frequency range. The chip requires only three external bias capacitors and is well suited to automatic assembly. By simultaneously offering improved gain, power, and circuit density in the 2-20-GHz range, a significant advancement in single chip performance has been achieved
