Abstract
This paper describes improved techniques for the design of broad-band linear reflection-type microwave amplifiers using transferred electron devices. These techniques have produced excellent agreement between amplifier design goals and performance. This agreement results from improvements in measuring techniques and data reduction in addition to the use of a distributed equalizer topology. Multistage amplifiers having a net gain of over 25 dB and a power output in excess of 0.4 W over a bandwidth of 4 GHz in X- band have been realized.Keywords
