A novel 10 MHz to 70 GHz surface mount amplifier for broadband applications

The paper demonstrates novel, state-of-the-art monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) on laminate surface mount module with unprecedented bandwidth. It covers a 12 octave continuous bandwidth, 10 MHz to 70 GHz, with 12dB of gain, 50 Ω I/O match, and +10dBm power output. It does this with a G...

Description
Summary:The paper demonstrates novel, state-of-the-art monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) on laminate surface mount module with unprecedented bandwidth. It covers a 12 octave continuous bandwidth, 10 MHz to 70 GHz, with 12dB of gain, 50 Ω I/O match, and +10dBm power output. It does this with a GaAs based 0.1u PHEMT distributed amplifier and 3 dimensional co-planar signal routing. Suitable for applications from instrumentation to electronic warfare, it takes PCB based systems to the next level in bandwidth.
