Download or read book Distributed Transformers for Broadband Monolithic Millimeter-Wave Integrated Power Amplifiers written by Pahl, Kai-Philipp Walter and published by KIT Scientific Publishing. This book was released on 2015-09-18 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work presents methods and techniques to optimize and implement distributed magnetic transformers for their application in matching networks of Monolithic Millimeter-wave Integrated Circuits (MMICs). It describes strategies for the efficiency and bandwidth optimization of the transformers and demonstrates their potential based on an optimized transformer geometry as well as two MMIC power amplifiers.
