A means of connecting a plurality of essentially identical active devices (Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4) is presented for the purpose of multifunction and multiple function operation. These devices (Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4), mounted on a chip (66), are flip-mounted onto a circuit formed on a base substrate and having large passive elements. Push-pull amplifiers (50) are presented as examples in which the multiple function operation is the combining of amplifiers (56, 58) whose active devices (Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4) are on a single chip (66). Electromagnetic coupling, impedance matching and signal transmission are variously provided by the use of strip lines (82, 88), slotlines (94, 100), coplanar waveguides (116, 130), and a slotline (180) converted into a coplanar waveguide (176, 178). <IMAGE> |
