This paper is aimed to solve the problem of wideband optimum power transferring between low impedance current output high speed integrated circuits and standard 50 Ohm load. High amplitude current output circuits face some implementation obstacles, as an instance, in the TSMC 0.18 um CMOS process, in order to make the current carrying metal trace withstand to almost 80–120 mA, the trace should have...

A typical UE BP filter is a lossless 2-port network which is formed with certain number of cascade connected commensurate transmission lines. Based...
In the literature, it is well known that complex Richards-Plane is a transformed domain of Laplace-Plane which is obtained under a tangent hyperbolic mapping. Network functions generated in terms of Richards frequency are periodic in actual frequencies with periodicity π. Once a lowpass prototype network function is designed in Richards domain it is this periodic feature that makes the corresponding...
Recently, tunable structures gained importance due to frequency agile microwave circuits such as tunable filters, matching networks, amplifiers, etc. that are needed to realize reconfigurable radios.

Broadband amplifiers that can accommodate commercial communication standards such as GSM, UMTS, Wi‐Fi, and Wi‐Max are extremely important for radio equipment manufacturers. To achieve this coverage, the amplifier should provide high gain and efficiency over a band from 800 to 5200 MHz. Although there are transistor devices that have cut‐off frequencies well over these frequencies, amplifiers covering...
