EXTENSION OF THE SIMPLIFIED REAL FREQUENCY TECHNIQUE AND A DYNAMIC DESIGN PROCEDURE FOR DESIGNING MICROWAVE AMPLIFIERS.

Abstract

The simplified real frequency technique, which is qualitatively shown to offer better design performance over the other available techniques for broadband matching networks with lumped elements, is extended to incorporate distributed network elements. Besides the computer program is now developed utilizing a dynamic procedure (instead of the existing procedure) for designing microwave amplifiers. Thus, it is possible to design such networks with lumped, distributed and mixed elements as well. The effectiveness of this technique in the design of single state and multi stage amplifiers are demonstrated with several examples. It is therefore, expected to be useful in the design of active and passive networks.
