Abstract

The DC, AC, and noise properties as well as the applications of a variable-gain common-source MESFET amplifier circuit using an active load transistor are discussed. The structure can be used as a versatile building block in analog GaAs integrated circuits. Two applications of the basic circuit are presented. The first is a wideband low-noise amplifier with low power consumption; the second is a phase splitter consisting of two basic amplifier structures in differential configuration. It is concluded that amplifiers using enhancement-type MESFETs result in a better noise figure and lower power consumption than those with depletion-type devices.
