Abstract
A novel, monolithic, distributed amplifier has achieved a record gain of over 10 dB from 2-18 GHz. The design utilizes five quarter-micron gate length, cascode connected, FETs on epitaxial material . Circuit simulations predict over 10 dB gain from 2-30 GHz for an amplifier with seven active elements. Novel features of the design, fabrication and testing are discussed.
