Two different types of air bridges were studied, which could suppress the slotline mode in CPW and widen the bandwidth. The paper shows a slotline ring fed by CPW printed in the center conductor of the CPW. Compared with the slotline ring printed in the ground plane, the proposed transitions have additional degrees of freedom, wider bandwidth and reduce the number of air bridges.","PeriodicalId":6625,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE MTT-S International Microwave Workshop Series on Advanced Materials and Processes for RF and THz Applications (IMWS-AMP)","volume":"162 1","pages":"1-3"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77151050","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}

By integrating offset double sided parallel strip line (DSPSL) which can easily realize high characteristic impedance and thus narrow microstrip line, the proposed biasing network can obtain much higher operation frequency ratio than the conventional design. To demonstrate the new methodology, two dual-band GaN power amplifiers applying the presented dual-band DC biasing network are implemented. The operation frequencies are 1.8/3.5 GHz and 0.9/3.5 GHz. Three-section networks for complex load are used for dual-frequency input and output matching. Simulation and measurement shows good agreement, which fully validate the feasibility and validity of the presented DC bias networks in power amplifier designs.","PeriodicalId":6625,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE MTT-S International Microwave Workshop Series on Advanced Materials and Processes for RF and THz Applications (IMWS-AMP)","volume":"42 1","pages":"1-4"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74708648","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}
