Design of a complementary silicon-germanium variable gain amplifier

This thesis presents an overview of the simulation, design, and measurement of state-of-the-art Silicon-Germanium Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (SiGe HBT) variable gain amplifier (VGA). The VGA design trade-off space is presented and methods for achieving an optimized design are discussed. We de...
