Distributed CMOS Bidirectional Amplifiers: Broadbanding and Linearization Techniques

by Ziad El-Khatib, Leonard MacEachern, Samy A. Mahmoud

Overview

This book describes methods to design distributed amplifiers useful for performing circuit functions such as duplexing, paraphrase amplification, phase shifting power splitting and power combiner applications. A CMOS bidirectional distributed amplifier is presented that combines for the first time device-level with circuit-level linearization, suppressing the third-order intermodulation distortion. It is implemented in 0.13um RF CMOS technology for use in highly-linear, low-cost UWB Radio-over-Fiber communication systems.
