Abstract
A practical method is introduced, to design single-stage broadband microwave amplifiers with mixed lumped and distributed elements via modeling the reflectance data obtained from lumped-element input and output matching network prototypes. The same transducer power gain level is obtained by using less number of lumped-elements in the mixed-element amplifier than that of the lumped-element amplifier prototype. A mixed-element amplifier design is presented, to exhibit the utilization of the method. It is expected that the method will be employed, to design microwave amplifiers for broadband communication systems. © 2007 Elsevier GmbH. All rights reserved.
