ABSTRACT:
Circuitry and methods for improved amplifiers with large bandwidth and constant gain are provided. The combination of a synthetic inductive drain load and a bridged-T matching network provide amplifiers that can drive a substantial capacitive load with the above mentioned improvements over prior amplifiers. Additionally, circuits presented allow for improved rise time and insensitivity to temperature variations.
