Uniform Distributed Amplifier Analysis with Fast and Slow Waves

A uniform distributed amplifier with passive and active, but no inductive, coupling can be represented in most practical cases with an exact distributed equivalent circuit consisting of simple fast and slow mode transmission lines having equal terminators. With ohmic terminators, reflected backward waves always exist (f ≠ ∞ ). Copyright © 1968 by The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc.
