Abstract
The pulse response characteristics of a broad-band GaAs MESFET distributed amplifier were measured. The characteristics show close agreement with measured sinusoidal gain at small-signal levels, and the expected gain compression occurred for large-signal input. Pulse distortion was negligible even for pulse height comparable to FET pinchoff.
