ABSTRACT:
A shunt feedback circuit path for use in high frequency amplifiers fabricated as a transmission line coupled to ground at one end and coupled to the shunt feedback transmission line of the amplifier at the other end. The shunt feedback transmission line has a first and second resistive element and a first and second capacitive element. A quarter-wavelength transmission line is used to transform the impedance coupled to one end with respect to the other end. The impedance as seen from one end of the line is a function of the characteristic impedance of the line. Therefore, by selecting the characteristic impedance the transmission line can be used to affect the impedance of the feedback path so the transmission line appears as an inductor of reactance equal to the characteristic impedance of the quarter-wavelength transmission line and reduces the overall effective length of the feedback path.
