Pmrs. Moreira et al., DISTRIBUTED-AMPLIFIER SIGNAL SHAPING STRATEGY FOR MULTIGIGABIT DIGITAL OPTICAL-TRANSMISSION, Electronics Letters, 29(8), 1993, pp. 655-656
A novel technique is presented for using the distributed amplifier (DA
) as an active pulse shaping/filtering network by effectively construc
ting a transversal filter. This technique is versatile, and judicious
selection of the effective stage delays and gains allows a variety of
filtering functions to be implemented. The capability of the technique
is illustrated with reference to a GaAs MMIC design for 10 Gbit/s.
