Yhyh I know about this one, wanted to know if there was another way around it. But it seems there is still no way to use just the active device minus its CORRESPONDING foundry for MMIC designs.
Main access to the foundry as an individual is an uphill battle too. Thanks
Yes please, I want to try a project on MMIC design and TGF2120 happens to work 0.25 um GaAs pHEMT technology from it's datasheet. Based on that, it should qualify for MMIC designs right? So I want to design something around the active device. A balanced amplifier, resistive feedback,etc. But I...
Thanks alot for such info, with the small signal, I think with the constraints of obtaining a device, I will have nothing to do with large signal analysis.
I am new to MMIC, mostly been doing hybrid designs, I have the s2p info for an active device but will that be enough to perform a design like for a simple amplifier?( I mean can I implement, the ideal transmission lines for the design since it will not be in actual lengths(mm/um) ?) .
Or I would...
Sorry, I have a question that has nothing to do with the current question but it is on MMIC design though. I am new to MMIC, mostly been doing hybrid designs, I have the s2p info for an active device but will that be enough to perform a design like for a simple amplifier?( I mean can I...
Oh alright then. Thanks a lot for the info, with the biasing, first time working with s2p files so it got a bit away from. I'll take your advice into serious consideration though. Thanks
Oh alright then, I did obtain the answers then, I obtained such results as you did as well. Thanks alot. I actually thought since I wasn't getting the -10 dB coupling coefficient I was wrong.
You used the impedances obtained from your sparameter simulation to match. I am having trouble even with the unilateral match. I test the circuit using the s11* and s22* and the matching is still poor. So I don't even know how to perform the bilateral matching since my impedances are being funny...
Yhyh I understand your method but from the attachment I have included, see I am supposed to follow specific steps to get the even/ odd mode analysis and that is why I am kind of trying to find the issue with it. I am not denying the effectiveness of your method.
I thought that was for unilateral matching? Doing the matching separately?

Thanks a lot and I'm also reading Gonzalez's book on the design. Very helpful.

That was what I obtained after running simulation for Sparameters with biasing. How do I make it better?, I believe...
I'm pretty sure it was the data display I brought on here, I don't know what was wrong too. I have fixed that but with respect to the new circuit I have added(with the divider and shifter) above in one of the comments . How am I not getting the coupling coefficient graph showing a -10 dB value...
Yhyh I have checked this out but i can define the minimum return over which bandwidth I want to obtain after matching. Is that enough? I have read the book itself on the match though.
I used S11 and S22 as a first step in finding the simultaneous matching network, but I'm not sure where to go from here.
They outputted:
S11 @ 2.4GHz = 1.339+20.873j
S11 @ 2.4GHz = 18.634+12.409j
How do I go about the bilateral design from here, I really don't know how to get the matching done...
the frequency of operation is 3 GHz and, I want the lower bandwidth of operation to be from to be 1 GHz, since tapered matching produces a wide bandwidth which would eventually cover the center frequency of interest. I looked up linear, exponential and klopfenstein tapers but they all seem to...
