Abstract
The problem of wide bandwidth and flat in-band gain response for microwave transistor amplifiers has been reduced to the optimization of a number of important variables from computer prepared design charts. Through the general flexibility of the computer-generated data, a large variety of amplifier responses are possible using distributed circuit matching networks. As experimental verification of the overall design procedure, single-stage and two-stage octave wide transistor amplifiers were fabricated on 1 inch by 1 inch and 1 inch by 1/2 inch 20 mil thick alumina, respectively. The experimental data gained from these units showed excellent correlation with the computer predicted response.Keywords
