color coded resistors

Design exercise (group)

Design of the signal path of the active antenna:

  • Differential pair input stage

  • Class AB push-pull output stage

Amplifier type: integrating transimpedance with brute-force 50Ohm output.

  1. Feedback element

  2. Input stage, W, L and ID (per transistor)

  3. Output stage: W, L (per transistor) and quiescent current

  4. Estimation of the achievable bandwidth with this two-stage solution

  5. Analysis of the frequency stability
