Wavelength multiplexing (WDM) technology along with optical amplifiers is used for optical communication systems in S-band, C-band and L-band. To improve the overall system performance Hybrid amplifiers consisting of cascaded TDFA and EDFA with different gain bandwidths are preferred for long haul wavelength multiplexed optical communication systems. This paper deals with statistical analysis o...

L-band SiGe HBT differential amplifiers with multiple bandpass or bandstop performance is presented. It incorporates stacked parallel-resonant circuits into the design of the output load of the differential amplifier to achieve multiple bandpass performance. On the other hand, the stacked parallel-resonant circuits are used between emitters of the differential transistor-pair to achieve multipl...

This paper hearsay a unique cross-coupled current conveyor based cmos transimpedance amplifier with series inductive peaking design to achieve an input capacitive load insensitive, low noise and augment the bandwidth of transimpedance amplifier. The peaking inductor is in series with the capacitor constituting a dominant pole. It boosts the band width of the amplifier.The whole transimpedance a...

In this paper, an 8 – 18 GHz wideband low noise amplifier (LNA) with an active balun fabricated in a 0.13-μm SiGe BiCMOS technology was presented. The LNA achieves 16dB of gain with 1.5 dB variation over the 8GHz to 18 GHz frequency band and a matched input with less than -9 dB of reflection. The minimum noise figure (NF) is 5 dB at 8GHz and increases to 6 dB at 18GHz. The measured IIP3 is -15-...

Gallium Nitride (GaN) amplifiers have demonstrated very high power density as well as wide band width in previous research. This paper examines their use in supplying flat gain, power, and linearity across a large band width. It demonstrates two types of power amplifiers: a Ft Doubler (FT2) amplifier and a Cascode amplifier, both of which require a simple PCB tune. Both amplifiers show 0.2 to 4...

—The impact of the type of implementation is considered on the IR-UWB channel capacity. This study is lead for analog and mostly digital implementation. Key parameters and theirs impacts on the channel capacity are exposed in each case: data converters for mostly digital implementations and pulse generators capabilities for analog implementations. These two implementations are compared from a d...

The main wideband amplifier candidates for use in submarine systems are hybrid DRA/EDFA and C+L band EDFAs. We explore the relative merits of the two technologies and demonstrate through simulations that the hybrid approach is advantageous for most systems. Introduction Submarine systems have enjoyed the tremendous advances in coherent transmission brought about by high speed DSP technology ove...

High power, broad bandwidth, high linearity, and low noise are among the most important features in amplifier design. The broad-band spatial power-combining technique addresses all these issues by combining the output power of a large quantity of microwave monolithic integrated circuit (MMIC) amplifiers in a broad-band coaxial waveguide environment, while maintaining good linearity and improvin...
