Abstract
A two-stage dual-gate f.e.t. amplifier with small signal gain of 20 ± 0.75 dB, covering an octave bandwidth (4--8 GHz) and having a dynamic gain control range in excess of 60 dB is reported. The gain frequency response, input and output v.s.w.r. are described as a function of second-gate voltage. The performance of the dual-gate f.e.t. amplifier as a fast r.f. switch is also presented.
