A philosophy for designing wideband multistage transistor amplifiers is presented. The amplifier was visualized as an integral unit, the interstage networks constituting the elements of the amplifier unit. By designing the amplifier as a unit and adjusting the over-all response (gain and bandwidth) with the interstage time constants, an increase in gain-bandwidth product was realized over the iteratively designed amplifiers. The resulting increase in gainbandwidth product resulted from absence of the bandwidth shrinkage factor for multistage amplifiers. Formulas were derived for both a two- and three- transistor integrally designed wideband amplifier, in which shunt peaking networks were used for coupling. Experimental amplifiers were con structcd following these formulas, and the observed performance agreed quite well with the calculations. (auth)

One of the techniques by which highly ionized plasmas can be generated in the laboratory makes use of strong, electromagnetically driven shock waves propagating into a cold gas. In this paper the phenomenon is analyzed as a one-dimensional single-fluid hydromagnetic problem, neglecting dissipation behind the wave. We hypothesize that the rarefaction wave remains attached to the front. In the limit of essentially complete ionization behind the front the problem can be solved analytically as long as the transverse magnetic field there remains small compared with the longitudinal field.
