Abstract
The main applications, advantages and disadvantages of distributed amplifiers on the field-effect transistors are considered. The advantages of using the method of calculating amplifiers with distributed amplification based on the construction of input and output artificial long lines of the DA based on 3rd order of LFP-links are discussed. The features of building a special diplexer are discussed.
A simulated circuit of the DA on field-effect transistors BLF 278 is given, as well as the simulation results: the dependence of the useful power at the output of the VRU on the frequency, amplitude and phase-amplitude characteristics for an amplifier with a distributed amplification of the VHF range. The feedthrough and output characteristics of the MRF9045 field-effect transistor in the AWR software environment are investigated. The simulation results of artificial long lines based on 3rd order of LFP-links for constructing the DA for UHF band are given. A computer model of an ultra-wideband DA on field-effect transistors of the type MRF9045 is presented, and its amplitude-frequency, amplitude, and phase-amplitude characteristics are also given.
Keywords: distributed amplifier, field-effect transistors, artificial long lines, diplexer, wide-band amplifiers, energy characteristics.
