Abstract

By the MIC synthesis we mean a complex of mathematical procedures with the aim to choose and arrange one system from theoretical models of microwave elements, a microwave integrated circuit, in order that an electric circuit could be obtained, able to perform the electric function required (amplification, oscillation, mixing, multiplication) in the desired frequency region of the microwave spectrum of electromagnetic waves with the preliminarily determined characteristics or with optimum characteristics established on the basis of a preliminarily chosen criterion. The key point of the synthesis is arranging and solving the system of mathematical equations expressing relationship between characteristics of elements and circuit quantities on the one hand and external quantities affecting the given circuit by means of its input and output lines on the other hand. The synthesis also includes checking of the MIC proposed according to the stability criterion for the given operation regime, estimation of the effect of relationship between the elements on electric characteristics and stability of the whole MIC and optimization of the MIC characteristics.
