- here by placing a small inductor between the drain and the
- gate. We will also add some tuning and matching circuitry to
- the input and output, the result being a stable, tuned ampli-
- fier for 50-51 MHz (the 6-meter amateur band). The value of
- the inductor (5.518 uH) is derived by way of using Cgd as part
- of a tank circuit. We add a 1000 ohm resistor at the gate to
- enhance the stability and make the matching easier, and the
- three-element matching circuitry on the input and output is
- derived by the use of a Smith chart. We can afford to be a
- little sloppy here, as this amplifier is to be used later as
- an example for optimization in a later chapter on that subject.
- Our circuit is:

- Note that element 4 is actually in line 9. It is not
- necessary that the elements be arranged in ascending order
- for the CAX instruction, only that they appear before it.
- Now, our amplifier has the following characteristics:
