Robert R. Krchnavek Rowan University
Objectives
• Be able to design an L-section matching network.
• Understand the importance of T and Pi matching networks.
• Understand distributed parameter matching networks.
• Be able to design biasing networks.
Matching Networks• Matching networks are often used to achieve maximum
power transfer.
• Matching networks are also used for
• minimizing noise influence.
• maximizing power handling capabilities.
• linearizing the frequency response.
• In general, matching networks simply provide impedance transformation.

L-Section Matching Networks
ZT = RT + ȷXT ZA = RA + ȷXA
ZM = RA − ȷXA
ZM = ZT ∥ȷXC + ȷXL
Zin = RT − ȷXT
Zin = (ZA + ȷXL) ∥ȷXC

L-Section Matching Networks
• Analytical method
• precise but slow.
• best used with the aid of a computer.
• Graphical method (Smith Chart)
• quick.
• not precise.
• yields a visual indication of the design space.
L-Section Matching Networks Analytical Solution
ZT = RT + ȷXT = 50 + ȷ25 Ω
ZA = RA + ȷXA = 25 − ȷ50 Ω
For maximum transfer of power, ZM = ZA
L-Section Matching Networks Analytical Solution
ZM = ZT k1
|!C+ |!L = Z
A
ZM = (RT + |XT ) k1
|!C+ |!L = RA |XA = Z
A
Separate into real and imaginary parts and solve for L and C.
L-Section Matching Networks Smith Chart Solution
ZT = RT + ȷXT = 50 + ȷ25 Ω
zT =ZT
Z0
=50 + ȷ25
50= 1 + ȷ0.5
ZA = RA + ȷXA = 25 − ȷ50 Ω
zA =ZA
Z0
=25 − ȷ50
50= 0.5 − ȷ1
L-Section Matching Networks Smith Chart Solution
L-Section Matching Networks Smith Chart Solution – General Approach• Find the normalized source and load impedance.
• Plot constant R and G circles that pass through zS. Use dashed lines or a unique color.
• Plot constant R and G circles that pass through zL*. Use solid lines or a different color.
• Find the intersection points between the dashed and solid lines. These are unique solutions to the matching problem.
• Find the normalized values of reactances and susceptances by tracing a path from zS to intersection point, to zL*.
• Determine actual values of L and C.
L-Section Matching Networks Smith Chart Solution – Specific Example
zT =ZT
Z0
=50 + ȷ25
50= 1 + ȷ0.5
zA =ZA
Z0
=25 − ȷ50
50= 0.5 − ȷ1
• Find the normalized source and load impedance.
L-Section Matching Networks Smith Chart Solution – Specific Example
• Plot constant R and G circles that pass through zS. Use dashed lines or a unique color. More specifically, if the first component is a shunt component, plot a constant G circle. If it is a series component, plot a constant R circle. For this example, zS is zT.

L-Section Matching Networks Smith Chart Solution – Specific Example
• Plot constant R and G circles that pass through zL*. Use solid lines or a different color. More specifically, if the component near the load is a series element, plot a constant R circle. In this example, zL* is zA*.

Forbidden Regions, Frequency Response, and Q
• Not every matching condition will allow all 8 L-type matching networks.
• Although the L-type matching network is matched at one frequency, the frequency response of the different networks varies.
• The loaded Q for each matching network will also, in general, vary.

T and Pi Matching Networks
• T and Pi matching networks have an additional element compared to an L matching network.
• The additional element allows more control over the Q of the network.
• Can be used to control the bandwidth of the matching network.
Microstrip Matching Networks
• At higher frequencies, distributed element networks are used to achieve matching.
• Single-stub and double-stub matching networks.
• Mid-GHz range one often uses transmission lines + discrete capacitors.
Mixed Design Matching Network
• Assume a characteristic impedance for the transmission lines of 50Ω.
• Smith Chart solution -> normalize everything to 50 Ω.
• Traversing the length of the series transmission line elements results in a rotation on the Smith Chart on a constant radius circle.
Convert a load impedance of ZL=30+j10 Ω to an input impedance of Zin=60+j80 Ω
Mixed Design Matching Network
• In general, these networks are very sensitive to precise placement of the discrete capacitor.
Convert a load impedance of ZL=30+j10 Ω to an input impedance of Zin=60+j80 Ω
Completed design:
Fully Distributed-Element Matching Networks
• Single-stub tuning. See undergraduate notes for Engineering Electromagnetics. Also see textbook. Easily done on a Smith Chart.
• When a tunable matching network is required, double-stub tuning has an advantage over single-stub tuning because only the length of the stub and not its position needs to be varied.
Summary
• Impedance matching is necessary to maximize transfer of power from one stage to the next in an RF system.
• Two-component L-section matching has up to 8 different configurations. However, not all 8 are available in any given matching problem.
• The different L-types have different frequency response.
• T or Pi matching networks have an additional degree of freedom to control bandwidth of the matching network.
• At higher frequencies, matching may include C and X-lines. At still higher frequencies, X-lines with stubs.
