Summary:The use of a distributed-amplifier-based transversal filter as a signal processor for high-rate pulse shaping/filtering is discussed. By showing the analogy between transversal filters and distributed-amplifier topologies, schemes demonstrating practical approaches for the design of such filters are explored. The practicability of one of the different schemes is illustrated via an implemented design. A four-stage 10-Gb/s distributed-amplifier monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) is constructed using one of the developed schemes and its behavior is discussed.
