Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立交通大學 === 電子工程學系 電子研究所 === 102 === With the emergence of many mobile multimedia applications, the requirement of high data rate wireless communication is increasing. There are principally two methods to get larger bandwidths, one is to move the operating frequency higher, like the IEEE 802.11ad standard, the other is using broadband matching techniques to extend bandwidths, which we discuss in this thesis. At first, we make the introduction to our project, some basic concerns of ultra-broadband circuits, design guides of power amplifiers and reliability issues. Then, we bring up the layout structure of power devices, modeling of layout parasitic and optimizations. We review the insertion loss method to synthesize networks, discussing issues of output network, interstage network, and transformers, etc. In the final, we explain the simulation and fabrication of the chip, and comparing the per-sim, post-sim, and measurement S-parameter results that we try to figure out the reasons of differences among them.
