  1. 5. Impedance Matching and Tuning • Apply the theory and techniques of the previous chapters to practical problems in microwave engineering. • Impedance matching is the 1st topic. Figure 5.1 (p. 223)A lossless network matching an arbitrary load impedance to a transmission line.

  2. Impedance matching or tuning is important since • Maximum power is delivered when the load is matched to the line, and power loss in the feed line is minimized. • Impedance matching sensitive receiver components improves the signal-to-noise ratio of the system. • Impedance matching in a power distribution network will reduce the amplitude and phase errors.

  3. Important factors in the selection of matching network. • Complexity • Bandwidth • Implementation • Ajdustability

  4. 5.1 Matching with Lumped Elements • L-section is the simplest type of matching network. • 2 possible configurations Figure 5.2 (p. 223)L-section matching networks. (a) Network for zL inside the 1 + jx circle. (b) Network for zL outside the 1 + jx circle.

  5. Analytic Solution • For Fig. 5. 2a, let ZL=RL+jXL. For zL to be inside the 1+jx circle, RL>Z0. For a match, • Removing X

  6. For Fig.5.2b, RL<Z0.

  10. 5.2 Single Stub Tuning Figure 5.4 (p. 229)Single-stub tuning circuits. (a) Shunt stub. (b) Series stub.

  11. 2 adjustable parameters • d: from the load to the stub position. • B or X provided by the shunt or series stub. • For the shunt-stub case, • Select d so that Y seen looking into the line at d from the load is Y0+jB • Then the stub susceptance is chosen as –jB. • For the series-stub case, • Select d so that Z seen looking into the line at d from the load is Z0+jX • Then the stub reactance is chosen as –jX.

  12. Shunt Stubs • Ex 5.2 Single-Stub Shunt Tuning ZL=60-j80 Figure 5.5a (p. 230)Solution to Example 5.2. (a) Smith chart for the shunt-stub tuners.

  13. Figure 5.5b (p. 231)(b) The two shunt-stub tuning solutions. (c) Reflection coefficient magnitudes versus frequency for the tuning circuits of (b).

  14. To derive formulas for d and l, let ZL= 1/YL= RL+ jXL. • Now d is chosen so that G = Y0=1/Z0,

  15. If RL = Z0, then tanβd = -XL/2Z0. 2 principal solutions are • To find the required stub length, BS = -B. for open stub for short stub

  16. Series Stubs • Ex 5.3 Single Stub Series Tuning ZL = 100+j80 Figure 5.6a (p. 233)Solution to Example 5.3. (a) Smith chart for the series-stub tuners.

  17. Figure 5.6b (p. 232)(b) The two series-stub tuning solutions. (c) Reflection coefficient magnitudes versus frequency for the tuning circuits of (b).

  18. To derive formulas for d and l, let YL= 1/ZL= GL+ jBL. • Now d is chosen so that R = Z0=1/Y0,

  19. If GL = Y0, then tanβd = -BL/2Y0. 2 principal solutions are • To find the required stub length, XS = -X. for short stub for open stub

  20. 5.3 Double-Stub Tuning • If an adjustable tuner was desired, single-tuner would probably pose some difficulty. Smith Chart Solution • yL add jb1 (on the rotated 1+jb circle)  rotate by d thru SWR circle(WTG)  y1  add jb2  Matched • Avoid the forbidden region.

  23. Figure 5.9a (p. 238)Solution to Example 5.4. (a) Smith chart for the double-stub tuners. Ex. 5.4 ZL = 60-j80 Open stubs, d = λ/8

  24. Figure 5.9b (p. 239)(b) The two double-stub tuning solutions. (c) Reflection coefficient magnitudes versus frequency for the tuning circuits of (b).

  25. Analytic Solution • To the left of the first stub in Fig. 5.7b, Y1 = GL + j(BL+B1) where YL = GL + jBL • To the right of the 2nd stub, • At this point, Re{Y2} = Y0

  26. Since GL is real, • After d has been fixed, the 1st stub susceptance can be determined as • The 2nd stub susceptance can be found from the negative of the imaginary part of (5.18)

  27. B2 = • The open-circuited stub length is • The short-circuited stub length is

  28. 5.4 The Quarter-Wave Transformer • Single-section transformer for narrow band impedance match. • Multisection quarter-wave transformer designs for a desired frequency band. • One drawback is that this can only match a real load impedance. • For single-section,

  29. Figure 5.10 (p. 241)A single-section quarter-wave matching transformer. at the design frequency f0.

  30. The input impedance seen looking into the matching section is where t = tanβl = tanθ, θ = π/2 at f0. • The reflection coefficient • Since Z12 = Z0ZL,

  31. The reflection coefficient magnitude is

  32. Now assume f ≈ f0, then l ≈ λ0/4 and θ ≈ π/2. Then sec2 θ >> 1. 

  33. We can define the bandwidth of the matching transformer as • For TEM line, • At θ = θm,

  34. The fractional bandwidth is • Ex. 5.5 Quarter-Wave Transformer Bandwidth ZL = 10, Z0 = 50, f0= 3 GHz, SWR ≤ 1.5

  38. Multisection Transformer • Assume the transformer is symmetrical,

  39. If N is odd, the last term is while N is even,

  40. 5.6 Binomial Multisection Matching Transformer • The response is as flat as possible near the design frequency.  maximally flat • This type of response is designed, for an N-section transformer, by setting the first N-1 derivatives of |Γ(θ)| to 0 at f0. • Such a response can be obtained if we let

  41. Note that |Γ(θ)| = 0 for θ=π/2, (dn |Γ(θ)|/dθn ) = 0 at θ=π/2 for n = 1, 2, …, N-1. • By letting f  0,

  42. Γn must be chosen as • Since we assumed that Γn are small, ln x ≈ 2(x-1)/(x+1), • Numerically solve for the characteristic impedance  Table 5.1

  45. 5.7 Chebyshev Multisection Matching Transformer Chebyshev Polynomial • The first 4 polynomials are • Higher-order polynomials can be found using

  46. Figure 5.16 (p. 251)The first four Chebyshev polynomials Tn(x).

  47. Properties • For -1≤x ≤1, |Tn(x)|≤1  Oscillate between ±1  Equal ripple property. • For |x| > 1, |Tn(x)|>1  Outside the passband • For |x| > 1, |Tn(x)| increases faster with x as n increases. • Now let x = cosθ for |x| < 1. The Chebyshev polynomials can be expressed as More generally,

  48. We need to map θmto x=1 and π- θm to x = -1. For this, • Therefore,
