- Title:
- TLM Charakterization of Planar Microwave Transformers for Monolithic Power Amplifiers
- Abstract:
- The time domain characterization of planar microwave transformers for monolithic RF power amplifiers using the SCN-TLM method is described in this paper. The primary objective of this study is to determine the influence of losses on the electrical properties of such transformers. For this a simplified model and a full model of the real transformer are investigated. We found that the principle loss mechanism originates from conductor losses of the windings. The influence of the lossy Si substrate... »
