Microstrip line negative group delay circuits and applications to communication systems

Research output: Contribution to conferenceChapterpeer-review

Abstract

In this chapter, a synthesis of microstrip line negative group delay (NGD) circuits is presented. Microstrip line resonators are considered for designing various topologies of transmission- and reflection-type NGD circuits. Similarly, the defected microstrip line structures such as defected ground structure (DGS) and defected microstrip structure (DMS) are also used to synthesize the transmission-type NGD circuits. In addition, a filter synthesis based on finite unloaded-quality factor resonators is also presented to design NGD circuit with the arbitrarily prescribed group delay. Finally, the applications of NGD circuit in communication systems are explored. The applications of NGD circuit include the efficiency enhancement of feed-forward amplifier and bandwidth enhancement of analog feedback amplifier.
