✦ Synopsis

In this paper, we present a new design methodology for transimpedance amplifiers which allows us to impro¨e the yield of an optical recei¨er by reducing its sensiti¨ity to the photodiode and interconnection line parameters. The proposed methodology does not require statistical analyses, and can be implemented easily in a microwa¨e simulator. According to this approach, a transimpedance amplifier for a 10 Gbitrs optical recei¨er has been designed. Experimental results are reported, which show the obtained high robustness of the design.
