Abstract
This paper describes a single-ended three-stage SiGe HBT distributed amplifier employing constant-k, m-derived filter sections in the output artificial transmission line. The distributed amplifier exhibits a measured passband of 100 MHz to 50 GHz, has a small die size (1.0 /spl times/ 1.1 mm/sup 2/) and low power consumption (125 mW). This amplifier is suitable for use in communication systems.

Gain bandwidth considerations in fully integrated distributed amplifiers implemented in silicon

TL;DR: It was found that the gain bandwidth product is limited to approximately 55% of the f/sub max/ of the gain stage used, which is a function of the choice of gain cell, quality of the passives, and the number of stages used.
