Abstract :
In this paper, we present a design method of bandwidth enhancement for Distributed Amplifiers (DAs), by using filter structures. Instead of using classical constant-k section in conventional DA we use both Chebyshev and Butterworth filters in both transmission lines in order to form respectively the gate and drain transmission lines of the new DA. In order to improve the bandwidth, the filter structure and series-peaking inductor are used. The complete designed circuit was implemented in TSMC 0.13μm CMOS technology. The simulated results provide 15dB as gain, the bandwidth is 14GHz. The input/output return loss is -10dB, the IIP3 is 5.66 dBm at 6.7 GHz.
