Hi all,
I was just reading the Pozar book and on p.553 it mentions that "it
is preferable to design for less than the maximum obtainable gain to
improve bandwidth."
Is there a formal derivation to this statement?
I'm curious why.
Thanks!

Hi,
I think it's related
to this condition "Gain-Bandwidth is equal to constant", which derived
from Bode-Fano Theorem.
Therefore, by designing for less than
the maximum obtainable gain, wider bandwidth will be obtained.
Thanks and Regards,
Jean

The last post is absolutly correct. Fanos limit shows that for wider
bandwidth, the gain will be reduced.

Aint Bode-Fano's criterion showing the VSWR-bandwidth product that
a matching network can have for a given quality factor mostly for passive
devices shuch as antenas?
I always had the impession that remplacing
VSWR by GAIN was an oversimplification. In my mind it only work as stated
if the device in unilateral.
Second, what is this GAIN-Bandwitdh
tradeoff? What gain? A flat gain or the Maximum available gain over
frequency, whatever value or rolloff it shows?
Very often people
will design matching network to autocompensate the gain rolloff and
obtain a flat response, by sacrificing the VSWR.
I see Bode-Fano
as a good starting point to sea if a matching is feasable.

You are correct , it is a criterion for
passive networks. The matching networks are passive, therfore, the wider
the bandwidth the higher the loss, hence lower gain.
