Abstract: The author describes the excellent performance of a Ka-band monolithic variable-gain amplifier monolithic microwave integrated circuit (VGA MMIC) using dual-gate AlGaAs-InGaAs pseudomorphic ...

Monolithic amplifiers, which inherently have excellent component matching, already provide offset voltages and thermal drifts that are considerably better than discrete amplifiers. In addition, the ...

Semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs) offer direct electrical injection, power consumption, integration, and anti-radiation advantages over optical fiber amplifiers. However, saturation output power ...
