Different configurations of very fast preamplifiers based on BJTs and
capable to operate as active cable line terminators are considered in
this paper. The design of such preamplifiers allows one to put the fro
nt-end out of radiation ''hot'' areas and solves the problem of radiat
ion resistant electronics. Noise performance, dynamic range and depend
ences of gain and input impedance on frequency are computed using the
PSPICE 5.0 program.
