Abstract

A small-sized transmission line transformer (TLT) which matches 50- Omega circuits to low-input resistance components, such as semiconductor lasers and PIN photodiodes, is described. This TLT is formed by different coplanar waveguide configurations and printed on a very high-dielectric constant substrate ( in /sub r/=80). This TLT considerably improves the temporal response of high-speed photodiodes as compared with the conventional coupling scheme.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
