The proposed technique is based on creating a tunable damped resonator with a fixed peaking inductor and a high-frequency transistor with low intrinsic capacitance. The tuning technique is first demonstrated with a generic equivalent circuit model and then implemented and evaluated using the high-speed bipolar transistor in 130 nm IHP SG13G2 BiCMOS technology, featuring ft/fmax of 350 / 450 GHz. Our proposed technique has been simulated in a real case scenario demonstrating the effectiveness of the tunable inductor peaking technique for loss compensation in optical communication systems.
