Abstract

This paper presents a new method to simulate and optimize microwave amplifiers more quickly. We present the results obtained for a low-noise microwave amplifier designed according to this method. At present, in order to design a microwave amplifier it is first necessary to choose the correct type of transistor in function of the applications required. After this, classical simulation and optimization software is used to calculate the elements of the equalizers placed before and after the transistor (Figure 1), taking into account the specifications of the amplifier.
