This transformer includes primary and secondary tracks () that are coupled to one another by mutual inductance, the primary and secondary tracks being superimposed on top of each other in two parallel planes while being arranged to follow the same contour (C), the plane of the primary track corresponding to the main conductive layer of the circuit, said layer being deposited on a substrate (), and the secondary track being supported, plumb with the primary track, by supporting means including walls (--), each wall bearing directly on the substrate and against a lower surface () of the secondary track (), and having a length (L) larger than a width (I), and having a height allowing a predetermined interval to be created between an upper surface () of the primary track () and the lower surface () of the secondary track ().

Transformer for a circuit in MMIC technology

An input signal amplification system comprises at least two different means of amplifying input signals in order to obtain amplified signals. It also comprises at least one means of summing amplified signals, and dynamic means of activating or deactivating one or more of the amplifying means based on input signals.
