Abstract
A N-stage differential distributed amplifier arrangement. The differential distributed amplifier arrangement includes a parallel connection of N-differential amplifiers. The inputs to the amplifiers are delayed so that the same input is received by each amplifier in sequence at a slightly later time than the preceding amplifier. The outputs of each amplifier are also delayed so that the output of the previous amplifier is added to the output of the next sequential amplifier. Thereby the output is an amplified version of the input. By appropriate grounding of inputs or outputs the differential distributed amplifier arrangement may convert from balanced signals to single-ended signals, from single-ended signals to balanced signals or from two inputs to two outputs.
