Design of Broadband Amplifier Embedded with Band-Pass Filter Using Discrete-Time Technique

摘要

This paper presents an ultra-wideband amplifier embedded with band-pass filter design. The scattering parameters of a frequency-domain GaAs field effect transistor are converted into z-domain representations by employing the weighted linear least squares method. A least squares scheme is employed to obtain characteristic impedances of transmission line elements that form the amplifier having a flat gain in the pass-band and good fall-off selectivity in the stopband. Experimental results illustrate the validity of the proposed design method.
