Abstract

Amplification is one of the most basic and prevalent microwave analog circuit functions. Wherefore power amplifiers are the most important parts of electronic circuits. This is why the designing of power amplifiers is crucial in analog circuit designing. The intent of this work is to present an analysis and design of a microwave broadband power amplifier by using two stages topology. A two stages power amplifier using a distributed matching network for WiMAX applications is based on ATF-21170 (GaAs FET). The configuration aims to achieve high power gain amplifier with low return loss over a broad bandwidth. The proposed BPA is designed with a planar structure on an epoxy (FR4) substrate. The planar structure is also utilized for getting the good matching condition. The advanced design system (ADS) software is used for design, simulation, and optimization the proposed amplifier. The complete amplifier achieves an excellent power gain; is changed between 28.5 and 20dB with an output power of 12.45dBm at 1dB compression point. For the input reflection coefficient (S11) is varied between -20 and -42dB. While the output reflection coefficient (S22) is varied between -10 and - 49dB over the wide frequency band of 3.2-3.8GHz.

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to use a new design of a negative resistance microwave oscillator in order to fabricate oscillator with very good performance in terms of output power, efficiency, stability and phase noise. In this study the new concept of oscillator using distributed resonator and micro-strip circuit elements improve performances of our structure. A micro-strip microwave oscillator with low phase noise based on an NPN silicon planar epitaxial transistor has been designed, fabricated, and characterized. In this design, each step has been conducted by using Advanced Design System (ADS) and following a theoretical study which enable to optimize the different performances of the whole circuit. The oscillator produce a sinusoidal signal with spectrum power of 12.25 dBm at 2.45 GHz into 50 Ω load when polarized at Vcc=15V with DC to RF efficiency of 16. The obtained phase noise of -120 dBc/Hz at 100 Hz offset is the result of the use of high Q factor resonator and the depth study of the parameters of the oscillator. Simulation and measurement results are in good agreement.
