Gain block RF Amplifiers – Theory and Design [1/2]

#212 In this video I look at the concept of the gain block – typically an RF amplifier that can be included in the signal path of an RF system. Although these can be bought as integrated circuits, or even complete modules; in this video I start exploring a method to design such a circuit around a single transistor.
