Abstract :
A complete design procedure for the 6-18 GHz, 250 mW MMIC amplifier is presented. Non-linear design tools and techniques are used in conjunction with linear tools to provide an optimum methodology within the limitations of the currently available CAD software. Some conclusions on the requirement for the MMIDC design software are drawn
