Distributed matching network synthesis with lossy commensurate lines

Abstract

A useful theorem which extends a previously introduced lossy transformation technique to more general applications is proposed for transformation between distributed lossy and lumped lossless networks. A new computer-aided approach is developed for the synthesis of lossy commensurate line networks with all lines having arbitrary frequency-dependent losses. As an application, a broadband amplifier is designed for monolithic microwave integrated circuits (MMIC's) and its performance is compared with the example.<>
