Abstract: An integrated distributed amplifier circuit can include an input transmission line structure comprising first unit cells including a first reactive circuit element and a first active circuit element, an output transmission line structure comprising second unit cells including a second reactive circuit element and a second active circuit element, and a termination circuit coupled to an end of the input transmission line structure. The termination circuit can include a current mirror circuit to establish a specified bias current for biasing respective first active circuit elements of the input transmission line structure. Such an approach can provide one or more of a broadband termination impedance and stable biasing conditions across different frequencies and power output levels.

Abstract: A power combiner/divider circuit can be structured having a base structure with the addition of an odd-mode capacitor and a low pass network at an end of the base structure or structured having a base structure with the addition of an inductor and a high pass network at an end of the base structure. The power combiner/divider circuit can be implemented as a port coupled to multiple ports with low pass networks or high pass networks arranged at the ends of paths to the multiple ports. In embodiments using low pass base structures or low pass networks coupled to the base structures, inductors in such low pass sections can be positively coupled on a pair-wise basis.
