A circuit for broadband amplification is provided. The circuit includes an
input HF_IN and an output HF_OUT, a first 90.degree. hybrid coupler being
connected to the input HF_IN of the circuit and a second 90.degree.
hybrid coupler being connected to the output HF_OUT of the circuit, and
two amplifier stages being connected in parallel between the first and
the second 90.degree. hybrid coupler, the 90.degree. hybrid couplers
being hybrid couplers having an operating range of 1/n octaves between a
lower frequency value and an upper frequency value, n.epsilon.N{0},
i.e., n is an element of the natural positive whole numbers in such a way
that the upper frequency value is greater than the lower frequency range
and simultaneously less than two times the value of the lower frequency
range, and the amplifier stages being based on transistors having a
III-nitride, or SiC, or diamond basis.
