“…Among the different circuital solution the cascode stage with a shunt feedback resistor results the most suitable as transimpedance amplifier [1,2,3]. This is due to the high intrinsic bandwidth-gain product and to the reduced Miller capacitance of the first common source stage.…”

“…The bandwidlth requirements, usually in the microwave range, are determinated by the link bit tra.nsimission rate. The GaAs monolithic circuits technology (MMIC) is demonstrated to be [1,2,3,5] the most suitable and advanced solution both for the optical receiver performance and the lower cost on massive production respect to the hybrid solution. In the modern optical communication systems the differen1 existing standards determine different bit transmission rates as well as a trend in the future increase of the transmission speed.…”

A GaAs monolithic bandwidth-gain control transimpedance amplifier for optical communication links adaptable to different Gigabit transmission rate is presented. A gain dynamic of 22 dB is obtained in .6-2.8 GHz range with a control voltage range of .5v. The circuital topology, the theoretical and experimental results are also presented. The complete study has been carried under the frame of the ESPRIT Project 5018 COSMIC.
