  • Gain-tilt amplifier
    Patent number: 5051705
    Abstract: A feedback circuit couples a base amplifier output to the amplifier input for feeding back a portion of an amplified input signal. The feedback circuit includes an inductor coupled in series with a variable resistance. The variable feedback resistance is provided by a feedback FET having a gate for receiving a control signal for varying the resistance between the source and drain. The gain of the base amplifier is determined over the predetermined frequency range by the combined impedance of the inductor and resistance. The base amplifier is a field-effect transistor (FET). The feedback inductance is taken from a portion of a coil coupling the drain of the base FET with an output terminal.
