To evaluate the effect of asymmetrical spurline resonators on microwave amplifiers, two InGaP HBT power amplifiers were designed and fabricated. One of them has asymmetrical spurline structure at the output section, while the other has a conventional 50-Omega microstrip line only.

For two coupled open-loops, the coupled sides with the maximum magnetic field are combined with their open gaps with the maximum electric field, creating the mixed electric and magnetic coupling. By adjusting the distance between this two loops and gap position of each loop, a desired coupling coefficient and a controllable transmission zero can be simultaneously obtained. The shapes of the open-loop can be either a rectangle or triangle, but the latter is preferred to the former since the coupling between the EM coupled triangular pairs is tighter and more controllable. A backed aperture can be etched on the ground plane underneath the coupled lines of two adjacent loops to further enhance both electric and magnetic coupling, and to help to realize a wider bandwidth and closer-to-passband transmission zero. High order filters can be constructed by cascading several EM coupled open-loop pairs to create multiple transmission zeros.","PeriodicalId":257679,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE MTT-S International Microwave Workshop Series on Art of Miniaturizing RF and Microwave Passive Components","volume":"53 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125302817","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}

The unconditionally stable implicit Newmark-beta scheme is used in the time domain finite-element tearing and interconnecting algorithm. Through the use of Lagrange multipliers, the field continuity is enforced explicitly along the edges shared by more than two subdomains and implicitly at the interfaces between two subdomains. In this way, the direct sparse solver is used for each subdomain system and the large global problem is reduced to a much smaller interface problem. Thus, the final system matrix equation is solved by Krylov subspace solvers and a Neumann boundary condition is obtained at the interfaces between all the subdomains. Therefore, the fields inside each subdomain are then calculated by this Neumann boundary condition. Numerical results demonstrate that our proposed method is extremely efficient for the analysis of the photonic band gap structures.","PeriodicalId":257679,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE MTT-S International Microwave Workshop Series on Art of Miniaturizing RF and Microwave Passive Components","volume":"25 2","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114124166","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}
