In this paper, a transimpedance amplifier with an automatic bandwidth compensation circuit is presented. The proposed topology includes a transimpedance amplifier which features a bandwidth control input, and a replica bias circuit to sense the active device dc parameter variations. A Monte Carlo analysis shows a 140 MHz bandwidth variation around 8.1 GHz when a ±50% variation is considered for the transconductance and threshold voltage of the HEMT devices. The same simulation shows a 490 MHz bandwidth variation if the compensation circuit is removed. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Microwave Opt Technol Lett 30: 79–81, 2001.
