Handle conditional stability in AWR Microwave when without using resistors? (BFR93AW @ 3.0 GHz)
Hey everyone, I'm working on a class project in AWR Microwave Office designing a 3.0 GHz, 4V amplifier with a BFR93AW transistor. When I plot the input stability circle, it slightly overlaps the bottom-left edge of the Smith chart. Normally I'd just throw in a series or shunt resistor at the base or collector to fix it, but my professor explicitly ruled out using any resistors.
Since I can't use resistors, I'm wondering how you're supposed to handle this in a typical coursework setting, ,I'd really appreciate the guidance. Thanks!
