0–40 GHz GaAs MESFET 1:2 distributed signal distributor IC
The authors describe a GaAs MESFET 1:2 signal distributor with a new distributed configuration. A key feature of the design is alternately distributed sections that have a common gate line. The 1:2 signal distributor IC has a gain of ~1.3 dB and a bandwidth of ~40 GHz. This is the widest bandwidth amongst all reported GaAs MESFET signal distributor ICs.
