Description
Summary:The aim of this project is to investigate on the design of microwave balanced amplifier. The circuit design and simulation was implemented using a Computer Aided Design Package HP Eesof Libra. The amplifier was designed using a MESFET transistor NE 76038.The amplifier gives a system gain of 16.5 dB at 2 GHz, the measured noise figure at o.6 dB and T - 0.76 ˂ 28. The operating point was chosen at VDS = 3 V and IDS - 10 mA. A 3 dB branchline coupler was used in designing balanced amplifier. The performance of this branch line coupler was simulated by simulating its coupling, isolation and directivity.
