  • Simultaneous bandwidth extension at high gain and peaking reduction at minimum gain for wideband, variable gain, linear optical receivers
    Patent number: 9667351
    Abstract: An optical communication system, a linear optical receiver, and an Integrated Circuit (IC) chip are disclosed, among other things. One example of the disclosed IC chip includes a transimpedance amplifier that receives an input electrical signal from a photodiode and provides an amplified version of the input electrical signal as an output, at least one variable gain amplifier that receives the amplified electrical signal output by the transimpedance amplifier and a bandwidth control mechanism that extends a bandwidth of the second amplified output at a maximum gain of the second amplification phase and also reduces a peaking of the second amplified output at a minimum gain of the second amplification phase.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 30, 2015
