A low-cost transimpedance amplifier (TIA) suitable for optical wireless communications is presented. The shuntfeedback TIA is designed using a feedforward current amplifier (CA). The bandwidth of the CA-TIA exhibits low sensitivity to the TIA gain. The optical receiver front-end is validated by both simulation and measurement.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
