In particular a design approach, hereafter called "A more- FET approach", added a new dimension to effectively optimize performance tradeoffs inherent in such circuits. Using conventional silicon 0.8 <span class="s1"><strong>μ</strong></span>m process parameters, simulated performance features of a total-FET transimpedance amplifier operating at 7.2 GHz, which is close to the technology <strong>f</strong><span class="s2"><strong>T </strong></span>of 12 GHz, are presented. The results are superior to those of similar recent designs and comparable to IC designs using GaAs technology. A detailed analysis of the design architecture, including a discussion on the effects of moving toward more FET-based designs is presented.</p><p class="p2"> </p>}, number={1}, journal={The Journal of Engineering Research [TJER]}, author={Touati, F. and Loulou, M.}, year={2007}, month={Dec.}, pages={69–74} }
