Breaking Barriers in Bandwidth and Power: Advances in Distributed Amplifiers for Broadband Front-Ends
Tolga Dinc, Salvatore Finocchiaro, Ying Chen
Texas Instruments, Qorvo, Samsung
Distributed Amplifier (DA) architectures have long been valued for their ability to deliver exceptionally wide bandwidths. In recent years, new design strategies and circuit techniques in various technologies have dramatically expanded their potential in applications ranging from high-speed optical and wireless communication to defense, instrumentation, radar, and sensing. This workshop will provide a comprehensive overview of recent research and development in distributed amplifiers, focusing on performance improvements across bandwidth, output power, linearity, noise, and efficiency enhancement. Emphasis will be given to implementations across multiple technology platforms including CMOS, SiGe BiCMOS, GaN, and InP technologies, highlighting the unique opportunities and challenges in each domain.
