Design of stable microwave multidevice circuits with complex termination impedances
A criterion to check the conditional stability of linear active two-port networks comprising more than one active device and terminated with complex impedances is presented. The proposed necessary and sufficient condition allows the guarantee of the stability in circular regions around the nominal terminations, thus providing circuit robustness with respect to load variations.
