Abstract
An apparatus includes an input transformer, an amplifier and an output transformer. The input transformer may be on a substrate and configured to convert an input signal into a differential input signal. The input signal may be a radio-frequency signal. The amplifier may be on the substrate and configured to generate a differential output signal in response to the differential input signal. The amplifier may be a balanced and distributed amplifier. The output transformer may be on the substrate and configured to convert the differential output signal into an output signal. Each of the input transformer and the output transformer may be a three line coupled balun transformer with a variable bandpass bandwidth.
