Abstract

This paper presents a method to design CPW (coplanar waveguide) balanced amplifiers using the existing CPW wilkinson balun. In order to realize the required power dividing/combining structure for balanced amplifiers, the CPP wilkinson balun is adopted. The proposed CPW balanced amplifier has much better matching performances than the CPW single-ended amplifier. The measured frequency bands, where the input and output reflection coefficients are less than -10dB, are $1.2{\sim}2.75GHz$ and $1{\sim}3.25GHz$, respectively, while the CPW single-ended amplifier has severely bad ones.

본 논문은 종래의 CPW 월킨슨 발룬을 이용하여 CPW 평형증폭기를 구성하는 방법을 제안한다. 평형증폭기 구성에 필요한 전력분배/결합구조에 CPW 월킨슨 발룬 구조가 이용된다. 일반적인 경향처럼 CPW 단일증폭기의 정합 특성이 매우 나빴음에 비하여, 제안한 CPW 평형증폭기는 입출력측 모두 우수한 정합특성 개선을 보인다. CPW 단일 증폭기의 정합특성이 매우 나쁜 것에 비하여, -10dB 이하의 입,출력 정합특성을 보이는 CPW 평형증폭기의 주파수 대역은 각각 $1.2{\sim}2.75GHz$, $1{\sim}3.25GHz$이다.
