Özet

Software Defined Radio (SDR) technology aims employing commercial communication standards within a single transceiver unit. Therefore, the design of broadband frequency tunable microwave components; particularly tunable amplifiers have gained considerable importance in recent years. In this work, a tunable inductor topology is proposed, theoretically analyzed and simulated. By using tunable capacitors, tunable inductors were obtained and broadband tunable matching networks are designed. Eventually a frequency tunable broadband amplifier covering 800-7500 MHz band has been realized.
