distributed amplifier for advanced electronic systems was designed based on the 2-1μm GaAs Hetero- junction Bipolar Transistor (HBT) process. The input capacitance coupling technology and an L type transmission line structure were applied to the design to increase the frequency performance of the amplifier. The measurement results showed that the amplifier provided a 3dB bandwidth as high as 14GHz. The amplifier gave a 6.6dB gain from 1.2GHz to 10.5GHz with an excellent gain flatness of ±0.5dBo The input return loss was lower than - 14dB while the output return loss was lower than - 8.8dB, exhibiting the high gain, great bandwidth characteristics.
