Student thesis: Phd

Abstract

Ultra-broadband Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit (MMIC) amplifiers find applications in multi-gigabit communication systems for 5G and millimeter wave measurement instrumentation systems. The aim of the research was to achieve maximum bandwidth of operation of the amplifier from the foundry process used and high reverse isolation (
