Abstract:
A distributed amplifier comprising:a. an analysis module for receiving and analyzing an input signal and transmitting said input signal to a gain module via at least one elementary section of said analysis module in a pi-configuration; b. said gain module for amplifying said analyzed signal and transmitting the amplified analyzed signal to a synthesis module; and c. said synthesis module for receiving the amplified analyzed signal via at least one elementary section of said synthesis module in a pi-configuration, wherein: the analysis module comprises N inductors of substantially similar value, the analysis module being terminated with a load at one end; the gain module comprises 2N gain substantially similar gain elements; the synthesis module comprises N inductors of a similar value, the synthesis module being terminated with a load at one end; the analysis module elements being connected with the input of the gain module elements in an equivalent circuit &pgr;-configuration of two shunt device capacitances with a series inductor wherein each representative capacitance is equal to half the inductance divided by the square of the input load; and the synthesis module elements being connected with the output of the gain module elements in an equivalent circuit &pgr;-configuration of two shunt device capacitances with a series inductor wherein each representative capacitance is equal to half the inductance divided by the square of the output load.
