摘要
Metamorphic HEMT (MHEMT) technology is capable of providing InP based HEMT performance at GaAs based HEMT levels of manufacturability and cost [1-5]. This makes the MHEMT an attractive alternative for low noise, high frequency, and wide bandwidth applications. The following describes the performance of a dc-45 GHz MHEMT traveling wave amplifier (TWA) that is well suited for broadband applications such as 40 Gb/s fiber-optic receivers. The amplifier provides a typical noise figure of 2 dB and output powers in excess of 3 dBm.
