RESUMO
Wide-band transmission line impedance transformer enables efficient coupling of 50 (ômegas) transmission line circuits to low impedance high-speed optoelectronic components such as semiconductor lasers (typically with input resistance of 3 to 5 [ômegas]). The physical dimensions of the planar transmission line transformer have to be properly chosen to allow its use in optical communication systems. In order to design a high performance impedance transformer with physical dimensions compatible with optoelectronic components, several possibilities were investigated. A CPW configuration with very high dielectric constant bulk substrate has been analyzed. Simulations have shown some limitations in the performance of this configuration. Then, two new configurations were introduced. Both configurations are obtained using high dielectric constant films and alumina bulk substrate. A new technique has been developed in order to characterize the dielectric constant and the losses of the films specially made for this thesis. Simulations have shown that the performance of both new configurations is much better than the conventional CPW configuration performance. The planar transmission line impedance transformer has been constructed using a new configuration and its performance has been experimentally evaluated.
