The theoretical performance of the common source MESFET amplifier and distributed amplifier as a post photodetector amplifier for use in high bit rate optical communication systems are compared. The calculations suggest that a 7dB improvement in the noise level may be obtained from the distributed amplifier in this situation in comparison with the conventional common source amplifier.
