“…Capacitive degeneration [5] or peaking [6] utilizes capacitive elements to add an extra zero that compensates the dominant pole or an extra pole to implement a well-controlled Butterworth response, respectively. Inductive peaking is found effective both in noise reduction and bandwidth enhancement [7]. Shunt inductive peaking [8], [9] simply uses inductor in series with the load resistor to maintain a constant effective load over a wider frequency range.…”

“…Because of this zero in the numerator of (19), the transfer function cannot be resolved to a standard Butterworth response. To investigate the frequency response of the proposed TIA regarding the bandwidth extension effect by the capacitive (16) (17) (19) degeneration and the series inductive peaking, we reorganize (19) to (20) where is given by (14) and In this design, because of the gain and noise requirements, we set with mS and .

In this paper, a novel current-mode transimpedance amplifier (TIA) exploiting the common gate input stage with common source active feedback has been realized in CHRT 0.18 m-1.8 V RFCMOS technology. The proposed active feedback TIA input stage is able to achieve a low input impedance similar to that of the well-known regulated cascode (RGC) topology. The proposed TIA also employs series inductive peaking and capacitive degeneration techniques to enhance the bandwidth and the gain. The measured transimpedance gain is 54.6 dB with a 3 dB bandwidth of about 7 GHz for a total input parasitic capacitance of 0.3 pF. The measured average input referred noise current spectral density is about 17.5 pA Hz up to 7 GHz. The measured group delay is within 65 10 ps over the bandwidth of interest. The chip consumes 18.6 mW DC power from a single 1.8 V supply. The mathematical analysis of the proposed TIA is presented together with a detailed noise analysis based on the van der Ziel MOSFET noise model. The effect of the induced gate noise in a broadband TIA is included.Index Terms-Active feedback, bandwidth extension, broadband, induced gate noise, regulated cascode (RGC), transimpedance amplifier (TIA).

“…Recently, a study has been reported on a noise-matched front-end circuit using the noise-matching theory for microwave amplifiers for the front-end circuit design [10,11]. In this paper, a low-noise and broadband design trade-off is quantitatively studied and a design example is presented for a noisematched optical receiver front end for which high-impedance, low-impedance, and trans-impedance front-end circuits are generalized and the noise-matching theory is introduced.…”

SUMMARYIn this paper, the noise-matching theory used for microwave amplifiers is introduced into the design of a general high-speed optical receiver front-end circuit. The trade-off of the low-noise and broadband design of the front-end circuit is clarified quantitatively. As a design example, a commercially available PIN photodiode and HJ-FET (f max = 60 GHz) are used and a 20 Gbit/s noisematched PIN-FET optical receiver front end at an optical wavelength of 1.55 µm is designed. A trans-impedance gain of 53 ± 3 dBΩ, bandwidth of 17 GHz, sensitivity of -14 dBm in the simulation, and dynamic range of 16 dB are obtained.
