摘要：
A low-voltage and variable-gain distributed amplifier is presented in this letter. This microwave monolithic integrated circuit amplifier achieves 12-dB gain with a 3-dB frequency band of 1.6-12.1 GHz and 6.5-dB noise figure under the bias condition of 0.8-V supply voltage and 6.4-mW total dc power consumption. The gain-control range is from -18 dB to +20 dB. Resistive metaloxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors are used as termination resistors to compensate the mismatch due to different bias conditions. From 3.1 to 10.6 GHz, the maximum gain ripple of this amplifier is only +/- 1 dB for the gain level between -4 and 20 dB.
