Recently there has been much interest in reducing size of planar circuit components that use transmission lines, and therefore, combining strategies that employ transmission elements can leverage on these miniaturization techniques to further reduce system size. In this paper we explore the dual-fed distributed power amplifier and a variant that uses periodic loops of transmission lines.en©2008 IEEE. Personal use of this material is permitted.
