Broadband and compact impedance transformers for microwave circuits

Most microwave circuits and antennas use impedance transformers. In a conventional power amplifier, large number of inductors and capacitor or transmission line sections are use to realize an impedance transformer. This article presents an asymmetric broadside-coupled microstrip TLT (transmission line transformer) on the GaAs substrate. This matching network can be easily implemented using any monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) process supporting multilevel metallization
