A CAD Based Tutorial on Microwave Amplifier Design
نویسندگان
چکیده
Microwave amplifiers find applications in almost all devices working at high frequencies and thus find applications in communication systems, satellites as also radars and navigations. It is thus very important for the students of electronics and its allied branches to have an in depth knowledge about the design of such amplifiers. The design of microwave amplifiers is a vast subject, and is by experience, generally found to be a difficult topic for the student community. Though a lot of classic books are available for the subject, this tutorial paper-specially written for students, aims at providing an intuitive approach to the design of microwave amplifiers. AWR‟s Microwave Office® software is used to illustrate the concepts more clearly.

Coupled electro-thermal simulations are performed to demonstrate predictive design of microwave devices. These simulations are based on an original, fully physical, thermal impedance matrix approach, capable of describing 'nearly exactly' time-dependent heat flow in complex 3-dimensional systems, whilst requiring no model reduction for electro-thermal CAD. This thermal model is validated by the...
