For the first time, absolute and relative thresholds for wavelet functions are used to change the resolution as a function of time and space. This technique is applied to the composite cell Haar MRTD scheme, which is capable of representing multiple conductors (and other subcell elements) per cell. Using this technique, complex structures can be represented more efficiently than with fixed grid techniques. Included is a comparison of the Haar method with FDTD, as well as the advantages of the Haar time-space adaptive method (10-40% economy in memory and execution time) with fixed grid FDTD and MRTD techniques. A dual patch antenna structure suitable for RF front ends in modern multilayer substrates is presented, the final version will also include an LC CPW structure suitable for metamaterial applications.","PeriodicalId":13133,"journal":{"name":"IEEE MTT-S International Microwave Symposium Digest, 2005.","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87027880","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thanks to the use a special DC bias circuit, the amplifier just requires one negative voltage (-5 V) supply. As no decoupling capacitor is used to bias the active cells, the amplifier has no low cutoff frequency. The amplifier gain is 15 dB and its 3 dB cutoff frequency bandwidth 65 GHz, which gives an equivalent gain bandwidth product of 390 GHz. This is at the state of the art for the technology used.

In lumped-element version, two kinds of matching networks are dealt with; one consists of an admittance inverter and a parallel tuned circuit, and the other makes good use of a series one. The former is marked by lower inductance values and the latter by less devise count and wider bandwidth. The frac- tional bandwidths of the designed hybrids are 20-27% for return loss better than 20 dB and amplitude balance tolerance 0.18 dB.
