Abstract :
Single-ended dual-fed distributed amplifier (SEDFDA) based balanced amplifier is analyzed and the layout is designed. The gate and drain artificial lines are realized with Composite Right-/Left-Handed (CRLH) phase shifters, having convenient topology for transistor connection. The amplifier design takes into account the catalog S-parameters of the transistors.
