Abstract :
An analytic design method for a lossy gain-compensating network is presented and the advantages of lossy networks are discussed. Examples of two-stage amplifiers using FET´s and bipolar transistors are presented to show the feasibility of this particular network in low power amplifier designs. These amplifiers obtain gains of 15.4+-0.5 dB with a 2.5-dB maximum noise figure in the 4.0--6.0-GHz frequency range and 16.5+-1.2 dB with a maximum input VSWR of 1.78:1 over the 1.0--2.0-GHz frequency range, respectively.
