Hello,
I would like to amplify a 2 GHz sinusoidal voltage signal (0.22 V peak to peak) using an operational amplifier. The gain I would like from the operational amplifier is about 5, that is, I would like a voltage output from the amplifier to be approximately 1 V peak to peak given the input. The problem is I can't seem to find an op. amp. with a slew rate that can give me the desired performance. The slew rate I require can be calculated for a sinusoid to be 2*pi*f*Vpp where,
f is the frequency of the signal (2 GHz in my case)
Vpp is the peak to peak output voltage required (1 V in my case).
Using this formula I require a slew rate of 12,566 V/micro second. I can't seem to find anything out there that exists that can go this fast. I don't have much experience with op. amps. Do they currently exist to meet my specifications? Thanks in advance for any feedback,
Regards,
Ping.
