Impedance Matching EE 432 Lecture 12

Reasons for matching:

• For maximum power transfer

• To minimize reflections on interconnecting lines
• To achieve noise match
• To achieve power match in a nonlinear amplifier

Some important design considerations:

• Impedance ratio
• Bandwidth
• Power levels
• Losses in the matching network

Methods:

• Transformers
• Lumped LC elements
• Distributed transmission-line elements
• Combinations of the above
