Morphological Analysis of Mmic Distributed Amplifiers

An effective way to reduce the complexity and cost of designing microwave integrated circuits (IС) is to develop approaches, techniques, algorithms and software modules for the automated synthesis of circuit and topological solutions. In particular, approaches to the structural‑parametric synthesis of microwave devices based on the principles of artificial intelligence and evolutionary computing are promising. The article presents the results of a morphological analysis of microwave distributed amplifiers (DAs). The DAs manufactured using various MMIC processes (GaAs, GaN, InP, Si, SiGe) were analyzed. A MMIC DA morphological set model was created and presented in the article. The model can be used for the technique, algorithm, and software module development for automated structural‑parametric synthesis of MMIC DA schematics according to the set of characteristics requirements.
