Abstract
A distributed amplifier (10) configured to amplify an input signal (20) is presented. Within the amplifier (10), a first input phase-shift element (40) shifts the input signal (20) into a first shifted input signal (56). A first active element (18'), coupled to the first input phase-shift element (40), amplifies the first shifted input signal (56) into a first amplified signal (58). A second phase-shift element (42), coupled to the first input phase-shift element (40), shifts the first shifted input signal (56) into a second shifted input signal (62). A second active element (18'), coupled to the second phase-shift element (42), amplifies the second shifted input signal (62) into a second amplified signal (64). A first output phase-shift element (44), coupled to the first active element (18'), shifts the first amplified signal (58) into a first shifted amplified signal (60). A second output phase-shift element (46), coupled to the first output phase-shift element (44) and the second active element (18'), shifts the first shifted amplified signal (60) and the second amplified signal (64) into an output signal (24).
