Power matching circuit is used our production line. And the IM3 matching circuit is useful for the customers to design the special tuning application. The power matching is designed as this, input impedance is gain-matching, output is matched with power matching impedance which is calculated with large signal simulation model. The IM3 matching is designed as this, input impedance is matched to the impedance which has the direction of decreasing S21 phase-shift, output impedance is matched to the almost same as the efficiency matching impedance. Those typical RF data are shown as this, GL = 10.2 dB Pout = 50.0 dBm IM3 = –28 dBc at power matching, GL = 10.0 dB Pout = 49.3 dBm IM3 = –31 dBc at IM3 matching (@2 tone Pout = 40 dBm).

The package-lead impedance is designed as 25 Ω connecting to the external matching circuit, in the external circuit design, the microstrip line impedance is 25 Ω, conjugate with package impedance, then the impedance is connected to balun, it is 1:2 balun structure, finally connected to 50 Ω. Balun technology has some advantage over single-ended device, minimize matching-loss with decrease of impedance change ratio and cancel the even mode harmonic frequency for IM3 performance. The balun circuit is employed for this product. BALUN DESIGN The balun design is the key for these high power push-pull structure device. NEC designed low insertion loss microstrip balun for this product. What is the reason of our choice? One is the repeatability of assembly, and the other is its performance. Microstrip balun performance tolerance is small because of its simple structure. So the balun performance is stable and repeatable between NEC and customers. And its insertion loss is 0.2 dB less than coaxial balun 0.3 dB, also Its band width is better than coaxial balun. The microstrip balun is consists of microstrip pattern and cavity, therefore its insertion loss and band width due to its parameter design. Those parameters are optimized with simuration. : (substrate duroid ε r = 2.2 t = 0.8 mm) Then the phase difference between two ports is 180° ±4, insertion loss is 0.2 dB from 1 to 3 GHz. DC STABILITY (AVOID OSCILLATION) The function of DC-cut capacitor arranged between transformer and microstrip balun is avoid DC oscillation. When the gate is pinch-off, a few pinch-off voltage (VP) difference of each port occur the loop current, then start DC oscillation in the area of pinch-off. Because of this reasons, the DC-cut capacitor is need to this microstrip balun assemble. Additionally, the ground of transformer substate is effective to DC oscillation, so that five screws are arranged at the middle of substrate.
