Abstract
In the early days of wideband amplifiers’ suitable coils’ were added to the load (consisting of resistors and stray capacitances) in order to extend the bandwidth, causing in most cases a resonance peak in the frequency response. Hence the term inductive peaking. Even though later designers of wideband amplifiers were more careful in doing their best to achieve as flat a frequency response as possible, the word ‘peaking’ still remained and it is used today as well.
