INTEGRATED SOLID STATE MICROWAVE POWER GENERATION MODULES

摘要

An embodiment of a microwave power generation module includes an amplifier arrangement, an impedance matching element, and a resonant element. The amplifier arrangement includes a transistor with a transistor input and a transistor output. The impedance matching element is formed from a planar conductive structure. The planar conductive structure has a proximal end and a distal end, and the proximal end is electrically coupled to the transistor output. The resonant element has a proximal end electrically coupled to the distal end of the planar conductive structure, and the resonant element is configured to radiate electromagnetic energy having a microwave frequency in a range of 800 megahertz (MHz) to 300 gigahertz (GHz). A combination of the impedance matching element and the resonant element is configured to perform an impedance transformation between an impedance of the transistor and an impedance of an air cavity.
