| Summary: | In this paper, a computer-aided design and analysis of a 2-4 GHz broadband balanced microstrip amplifier using a full computer simulation program developed by the author and others is presented. A short and efficient CAD procedure for broadband amplifier design is introduced. The first step is to design an initial narrow-band high gain microstrip amplifier at 3-GHz central frequency. The second step is to optimize the initial lengths and widths of the input and output microstrip-matching circuits to get the broadband amplifier over the range 2-4 GHz. The analysis of both narrow and broadband amplifiers is investigated. In addition, with the design and analysis of a low-pass microstrip filter, the paper introduces the design and analysis of a Lange coupler. The final AC schematic diagram of the designed amplifier with the lengths and widths of microstrip lines is presented.
