Low frequency Stability - RF Cafe Forums

The original RF Cafe Forums were shut down in late 2012 due to maintenance issues - primarily having to spend time purging garbage posts from the board. At some point I might start the RF Cafe Forums again if the phpBB software gets better at filtering spam.

Below are the old forum threads, including responses to the original posts.

hey all...

i'm new too all this...hope to learn from this forum.

what's the best way to obtain stability for HBT for 50 MHz to 1 GHz band for values for IC design. I tried feedback but the Cfb in the feedback loop is having too much affect on the bandwith and requires a big values for IC design (close to 40 pF). Shouldn't Cfb actually just provide blocking without much affecting the ac response? thanks a lot!!

RF Cafe began life in 1996 as "RF Tools" in an AOL screen name web space totaling 2 MB. Its primary purpose was to provide me with ready access to commonly needed formulas and reference material while performing my work as an RF system and circuit design engineer. The World Wide Web (Internet) was largely an unknown entity at the time and bandwidth was a scarce commodity. Dial-up modems blazed along at 14.4 kbps while tying up your telephone line, and a lady's voice announced "You've Got Mail" when a new message arrived...
