摘要： A means of connecting a plurality of essentially identical active devices (Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4) is presented for the purpose of multifunction and multiple function operation. These devices (Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4), mounted on a chip (66), are flip-mounted to a circuit motherboard having large passive elements. A push-pull amplifier (50) is presented as an example in which the multiple function operation is the combining of amplifiers (56, 58) whose active devices (Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4) are on a single chip (66). The electromagnetic coupling, impedance matching and signal transmission are variously provided by the use of striplines (82, 88), slotlines (94, 100), coplanar waveguides (116, 130), and a slotline (180) converted into a coplanar waveguide (176, 178). In particular, a conversion of a split coplanar slotline (170) to dual coplanar waveguides (176, 178) provides signal transmission to a pair of transistors (166) flip-mounted onto the coplanar waveguides (176, 178).

摘要： An active device (16), such as a field effect transistor ('FET') (70), converts microwave signals between a slot transmission line ('slotline') (12) and a coplanar waveguide ('CPW') (14). In slotline-to-CPW conversion using one or more FETs, a gate connection is made to one or both of the slotline conductors (18, 20). A drain connection is made to the center conductor (22) on the CPW. Two FET source terminals are connected respectively to each CPW groun strip (24, 26) and may be coupled to a slotline conductor (20). The active device (32) can be reconnected so as to reverse the input and output, providing for conversion of signals from CPW (34) to slotline (36). Conversion between balanced-signal slotline (82) and CPW (84) further includes passive (94) or active (172) phase shift of one signal path.

摘要： An active device (16), such as a field effect transistor ("FET") (70), converts microwave signals between a slot transmission line ("slotline") (12) and a coplanar waveguide ("CPW") (14). In slotline-to-CPW conversion using one or more FETs, a gate connection is made to one or both of the slotline conductors (18, 20). A drain connection is made to the center conductor (22) on the CPW. Two FET source terminals are connected respectively to each CPW groun strip (24, 26) and may be coupled to a slotline conductor (20). The active device (32) can be reconnected so as to reverse the input and output, providing for conversion of signals from CPW (34) to slotline (36). Conversion between balanced-signal slotline (82) and CPW (84) further includes passive (94) or active (172) phase shift of one signal path.
