    On numerical design technique of wideband microwave amplifiers based on GaN small-signal device model
    (Springer, 2014-10) Köprü, Ramazan; Kuntman, Hulusi Hakan; Yarman, Bekir Sıddık Binboğa
    This work presents an application of Normalized Gain Function (NGF) method to the design of linear wideband microwave amplifiers based on small-signal model of a device. NGF has been originally developed to be used together with an S-parameter (*.s2p) file, whereas this work enables the NGF to be able to work with explicit S-parameter formulae derived from the small-signal model of the device. This approach provides the designer to be able to use simple set of S-parameter equations instead of S-parameter file of the device. Representation of the device simply by several model equations not only eliminates the need of carrying large number of data but also provides the capability of equation-based easy, realistic and equispaced S-parameter data generation in any desired resolution in frequency axis without requiring interpolation. NGF is defined as the ratio of T and |S-21|(2), i.e. T-N = T/|S-21|(2), gain function of the amplifier to be designed and transistor forward gain function, respectively. Synthesis of output/input matching networks (OMN/IMN) of the amplifier requires two target gain functions in terms of T-N, to be used in two sequential non-linear optimization procedures, respectively. An amplifier with a flat gain of similar to 10 dB operating in 0.8-2.35 GHz is designed using a small-signal model of an experimental GaN-HEMT. Theoretical amplifier performance obtained in Matlab is shown to be in excellent agreement with the simulated performance in MWO (Microwave Office, AWR Inc.). A prototype low-power amplifier having a similar to 10 to 12 dB gain, operating in (0.9-1.5 GHz) is also produced and measured which yielded good performance results.

    A design technique of 50 Ω terminated bandpass matching network and its implementation to a Y-shaped monopole antenna matching
    (Springer, 2016-12) Aydın, Çağatay; Atilla, Doğu Çağdaş; Köprü, Ramazan; Kılınç, Sedat; Karakuş, Cahit; Yarman, Bekir Sıddık Binboğa
    In this paper, a 50 Ω terminated or in other words transformerless bandpass matching network design methodology and an implementation example are presented. The real frequency techniques are powerful numerical methods to design wideband lossless two-port networks such as filters, matching networks and amplifiers. In these techniques, the value of the termination resistance of the designed network could not be yielded as 50 Ω by numerical package. Hence, a transformer is also required for 50 Ω termination which is not practical for high frequency applications. By employing the proposed procedure, it is guaranteed to obtain transformerless bandpass matching network. Also in this study a wideband suspended monopole antenna is examined. The proposed antenna consists of two major elements; Y-shaped impedance matching plate and hemi-circular radiator. Moreover Y-shaped impedance matching plate connected to a feeding probe excites the suspended hemi-circular radiator via air gap. Consequently, a transformerless bandpass matching network is designed to filter and expand the operational frequency bandwidth of the proposed antenna. It has been observed that ideal circuit and the layout of the matching network simulation have good agreement.

    Design of multiband matching ladders without mutual coupling using parametric representation of Brune functions
    (John Wiley and Sons Inc, 2020-10-01) Yıldız, Serkan; Aksen, Ahmet; Yarman, Bekir Sıddık Binboğa
    In this study, a semianalytical method for the design of mutual coupling free multiband matching networks is introduced. A new parametric representation of Brune functions is used for the construction of multiband ladder network topologies without mutual induction. The method involves the use of Fujisawa's constraints for low pass ladders having finite transmission zeros, in a parametric representation of driving point impedance function resulting in mutual inductance free Brune sections. The developed parametric representation is incorporated with Real Frequency Techniques to design matching networks with a plurality of pass bands. Several illustrative design examples are presented to validate the method.

    A computer-aided method for the design of lossless broadband matching networks with lumped elements and commensurate transmission lines is presented. ne method is based on combining the simplifield real frequency technique with the algebraic network decomposition by Fettweis. To show the application of the Computer-Aided Design (CAD) approach, an UHF antenna matching problem is solved.

    A real frequency approach to describe lossless two-ports formed with mixed lumped and distributed elements
    (Urban & Fischer Verlag, 2001) Aksen, Ahmet; Yarman, Bekir Sıddık Binboğa
    The design of microwave filters, matching networks, amplifiers, that Is the "Broadband Networks" with mixed lossless lumped and distributed elements, has been a significant concern of the circuit theoreticians of the field. Yet, there has been no complete practical solution Introduced In the literature so far. In this paper, an attempt has been made to design broadband networks constructed with a cascade connection of low pass LC ladders connected with commensurate transmission lines. The new design procedure Is based on the two-variable description of the Simplified Real Frequency Technique. Up to five mixed-elements explicit equations are given to describe some selected network topologies. In general, synthesis Is carried out employing a decomposition technique first Introduced by Alfred Fettwels. A "Double Matching Design" example is presented to exhibit the merits and the application of the new approach.

    Low pass filter design with improved stop-band suppression and synthesis with transformer-free ladders
    (John Wiley and Sons Inc, 2021-09) Yıldız, Serkan; Aksen, Ahmet; Kılınç, Sedat; Yarman, Bekir Sıddık Binboğa
    A new method to design transformer-free low pass (LP) ladder network with improved stop-band suppression performance is introduced. The parametric representation of back-end impedance of LP filter network is established with minimum impedance part and a Foster reactance part. The constructed impedance function is optimized by using real frequency technique. It has been shown that the proposed method provides LP filters which have superior stop-band suppression in comparison with classical transfer function-based filters with same complexity. The synthesis of the LP filter is obtained with the proposed element extraction procedure and resulted with fully realizable network elements in ladder form. An LP filter design and application by employing the proposed technique is provided. The measurement results of the prototyped filter are presented.

    Novel approach to design ultra wideband microwave amplifiers: Normalized gain function method
    (Spolecnost Pro Radioelektronicke Inzenyrstvi, 2013-09) Köprü, Ramazan; Kuntman, Hulusi Hakan; Yarman, Bekir Sıddık Binboğa
    In this work, we propose a novel approach called "Normalized Gain Function (NGF) method" to design low/medium power single stage ultra wide band microwave amplifiers based on linear S parameters of the active device. Normalized Gain Function T-NGF is defined as the ratio of T and vertical bar S-21 vertical bar(2), desired shape or frequency response of the gain function of the-amplifier to be designed and the shape of the transistor forward gain function, respectively. Synthesis of input/output matching networks (IMN/OMN) of the amplifier requires mathematically generated target gain functions to be tracked in two different nonlinear optimization processes. In this manner, NGF not only facilitates a mathematical base to share the amplifier gain function into such two distinct target gain functions, but also allows their precise computation in terms of T-NGF=T/vertical bar S-21 vertical bar(2) at the very beginning of the design. The particular ainplifier presented as the design example operates over 800-5200 MHz to target GSM, UNITS,. Wi-Fi and WiMAX applications. An SRFT (Simplified Real Frequency Technique) based design example supported by simulations in MWO (Micro Wave Office from AWR Corporation) is given using a 1400 mW pHEMT transistor, TGF2021-01 from TriQuint Semiconductor.
