摘要: This paper presents performance data and design information on a broadband 4-GHz balanced transistor amplifier being developed for possible use in microwave radio relay systems. The stripline circuitry passive components are integrally fabricated 1.5-inch-square alumina substrate using thin-film technology. A comprehensive description is presented of the circuit design, mechanical fabrication techniques, long-term stability tests. Three-stage amplifiers give 15 dB gain at 4 GHz with 3-dB bandwidth 1000 MHz. Input output VSWR'S were below 1.05 noise figure 7 dB. mean time to failure more than 10/sup 6/ hours has been indicated complete three-stage device by obtained accelerated component aging
