Comments on "Avoiding the Gain-Bandwidth Trade Off in Feedback Amplifiers"

In this comment, the previous work on bandwidth enhancement of finite gain amplifiers using two or more opamps is brought to the attention of the reader. An analogy between finite gain amplifiers using opamps and current feedback operational amplifiers is also presented.
