Abstract
A MMIC matrix amplifier design based on FETs with tapered gate width i s proposed. The Tschebyscheff filter theory is applied to each of the artificial transmission lines composing the matrix amplifier. The impr ovement of the input and output reflection coefficient and the reducti on of the FET's width in comparison to a conventional matrix amplifier with equivalent performance demonstrates the effectiveness of the pre sented approach.
