105 GHz triple-stack distributed amplifier in a 0.1 μ m commercial GaAs process

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference proceeding contributionpeer-review

Abstract

The design and measured performance of an unconditionally stable 1 to 105 GHz distributed amplifier is presented. Fabricated in a commercial 0.1 μ m GaAs process, it delivers more than 10 dB small signal gain across the 105 GHz band and more than 15 dBm output power to 90 GHz. To the author's knowledge, the amplifier has the broadest gain bandwidth reported to date in a GaAs process, and using gain BW/ fmax and P1BW/ fmax figures-of-merit, this GaAs design exceeds, or is comparable to, the performance of other state-of-the-art designs in SOI, SiGe, InP, InGaAs and GaN.
