The theory and the design procedure of unilateralized feedback power amplifier is expanded from the conventional power amplifier design procedure. To realize the theory of the feedback power amplifier, new feedback topologies are proposed. The proposed feedback topology is equivalent to the conventional series and shunt dual loop feedback amplifier and good for heat sinking. The FET-integrated CPW is proposed for the application of millimeter-wave traveling wave switches. The extraction of the model parameters is described. By modeling the 2-finger FET into CPW, the on-state millimeter-wave traveling wave switches are equivalent to the step impedance band pass filter and the design procedure is obtained. The frequency limitation of the traveling-wave switches is also discussed. The concept of the filter integrated switch is illustrated. Based on this concept, the quarter-wavelength shorted stubs band pass filter are integrated into SPST and SPDT switch. The design parameters are systematically determined. Moreover, the power performance of the switch is described. The power performance of this circuit is predicted by the piecewise linear approximation and the linear network analysis. The method provides a easy way to predict the switch power performance.Chapter 1 Introduction 2 1.1 Motivation 2 1.2 Literature Survey 4 1.2.1 Feedback Amplifiers 4 1.2.2 Techniques to Improve the Switch Performance 5 1.3 Contributions 7 1.3.1 Feedback Power Amplifiers 7 1.3.2 FET-Integrated CPW 8 1.3.3 Filter-Integrated Switch 9 1.4 Chapter Outlines 10 Chapter 2 Conventional Power Amplifier Design Procedure 12 2.1 Conventional Linear Amplifier Design Approach 13 2.2 Power Amplifier Design with Load-Pull Measurement System 16 2.3 Load Pull Measurement System Setup 18 Chapter 3 Feedback Power Amplifier Design Approach 26 3.2 Output Power in Unilateralized Feedback Power Amplifiers 31 3.3 Feedback Structure for Unilateralization 35 3.4 Dual Loop Feedback Structure for Power Amplifier 39 3.5 Experimental Results 47 3.6 Summary 54 Chapter 4 Introduction of RF Switches 56 4.1 Passive Devices Used for RF Switches 56 4.1.1 Diode 56 4.1.2 Passive FET 58 4.2 Method to Improve the Switching Characteristics of Passive FET Switches 59 4.2.1 Narrow-bandwidth approach 59 4.2.2 Broad Band Traveling Wave Concept 60 4.2.3 Special layout 61 4.3 Comparison between the Improvement Methods 63 Chapter 5 RF Switches – Traveling Wave Switches Using FET-Integrated CPW 66 5.1 FET Integrated CPW Concept 67 5.2 MMIC Process 71 5.3 Device Modeling for FET-Integrated CPW 72 5.4 Filter Synthesis Design Method for Traveling-Wave SPST Switch 77 5.5 Implementation and Evaluation of the SPST and SPDT Switches 81 5.6 Measurement Results 84 5.7 Discussions 93 5.7.1 Bandwidth Limitation of Traveling-Wave Switches 93 5.7.2 Bandwidth Enhancement Using FET-Integrated CPW 96 5.8 Summary 98 Chapter 6 RF Switches – Concept of Filter Integrated Switches 100 6.1 Concept of Filter Integrated Switch 101 6.2 Basic Filter Theory 102 6.2.1 N-pole Order Low Pass Filter Prototype 102 6.2.2 Impedance Scaling and Frequency Scaling 105 6.3 Quarter-Wavelength Short-Stub Band-Pass Filter Design Procedure 107 6.4 SPST Switch Integrated with Quarter-Wavelength Short-Stub Band Pass Filter 109 6.5 Concept of SPDT Filter-Integrated Switch 114 6.6 Design Procedure of SPDT Filter-Integrated Switch 115 6.7 Power Analysis 121 5.2.1 Piecewise Linear Approximation 121 5.2.2 Prediction of 1-dB Compression 126 6.8 SPDT Design and the Experimental Results 127 6.9 Summary 136 Chapter 7 Conclusions 138 Chapter 8 Future Work 140 References 142 Publications 14611875903 bytesapplication/pdfen-US功率放大器微波切換器迴授放大器場效電晶體共面波導行波開關步階阻抗低通濾波器分段近似線段近Power amplifiermicriwave switchfeedback amplifierfield effect transistorstraveling-wave switchstep impedance low-pass filterspiecewise linear approximationthesishttp://ntur.lib.ntu.edu.tw/bitstream/246246/53366/1/ntu-95-F90942006-1.pdf
