Presented herein is a philosophy for designing wideband multistage transistor amplifiers. The amplifier is visualized as an integral unit, the interstage networks constituting the elements of the amplifier unit. By designing the amplifier as a unit and adjusting the overall response (gain and bandwidth) with the interstage time constants, an increase in gain-bandwidth product is realized over the iteratively designed amplifiers. The resulting increase in gain-bandwidth product results from absence of the bandwidth shrinkage factor for multistage amplifiers. Formulas are derived for both a two- and three-transistor integrally designed wideband amplifier, in which shunt peaking networks are used for coupling. …

Description
Presented herein is a philosophy for designing wideband multistage transistor amplifiers. The amplifier is visualized as an integral unit, the interstage networks constituting the elements of the amplifier unit. By designing the amplifier as a unit and adjusting the overall response (gain and bandwidth) with the interstage time constants, an increase in gain-bandwidth product is realized over the iteratively designed amplifiers. The resulting increase in gain-bandwidth product results from absence of the bandwidth shrinkage factor for multistage amplifiers. Formulas are derived for both a two- and three-transistor integrally designed wideband amplifier, in which shunt peaking networks are used for coupling. Experimental amplifiers were constructed following these formulas, and the observed performance agreed quite well with the calculations.
