A full design approach for developing very highspeed transimpedance amplifier (TIA) monolithic microwave integrated circuits (MMIC's) to be economically produced in large quantities is described. As an application example, the letter reports design, experimental performances, yield, and size data for a 5-Gb/s MMIC TIA using a low-cost 0.5-m GaAs field-effect transistor (FET) technology, showing outstanding experimental performances and optimized for a large-volume industrial production.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
