made from L-C sections. This, in turn, is based on the notion that a transmission

line can be modeled as a series of L-C sections.

In a properly designed and constructed distributed amplifier, the input signal

passes by (and is applied to) the inputs of each of the stages, and is finally

absorbed by a terminator, which has the characteristic impedance of the input

transmission line of distributed amplifier. In practice, there are several limits

that apply to the distributed amplifier technique. One of these is the real component

of the input impedance of many amplifying devices. The real component necessarily causes

energy loss in the transmission line, which limits the number of stages.
