Abstarct Amplification is one of the most basic and prevalent RF/Microwave circuit functions. This paper describes the design of an 11 GHz PHEMT ATF-36077 microwave amplifier. The amplifier is manually designed using conventional technique, Smith chart was used to do a matching of the input and output of the amplifier. A completed design of the amplifier was optimised using Hewlett-Packard Adva...

This paper provides an alternative and highly accurate method in predicting Small Signal Performance of Microwave Amplifier. An Electromagnetic (EM) simulator that based on Finite Element Method (FEM) was used in combination with the conventional SPICE-based microwave circuit simulator in order to demonstrate the superiority in performance outcome such as Rollet Stability Factor (K), Return Los...

0 1 5 Frequency [GHz] 6 2 3 4 Abstract The validity of lumped element microwave class-F amplifier circuit design has been demonstrated experimentally. By means of the proposed class-F amplifier design method, more than 4th-order higher harmonic frequencies can be taken into account in class-F microwave amplifier design using only lumped element components. In this approach, miniaturization of c...

Detecting single-photon level signals—carriers of both classical and quantum information—is particularly challenging for low-energy microwave frequency excitations. Here we introduce a superconducting amplifier based on a Josephson junction transmission line. Unlike current standing-wave parametric amplifiers, this traveling wave architecture robustly achieves high gain over a bandwidth of seve...

This short paper presents the concept of particle swarm optimization technique applied for the design of broadband microwave amplifiers. The method that is developed is based on Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) technique applied to a compensated matching network on a single stage transistor amplifier to get the best optimized result in the design. To prove the concept four different operating ...

Equivalent gain amplification and broadband networks matching of weak microwave signal are difficult in Ultra-wideband microwave receiver system. A highly integrated amplifier IC ADL5541 from ADI is adopted as the core unit in this paper, coordinate with an external matching network. The design can realize an Ultrawideband microwave amplifier with 15dB gain which works in the 500~4000MHz with +...

The nonlinear modelling of different microwave SiGe bipolar transistors has been performed. Using these models, the phase noise of an amplifier is computed, taking into account two different types of noise, the microwave additive noise floor and the up-converted 1/f noise. The simulation technique combines different approaches available in a commercial CAD software. Theoretical results are then...
