Lumped Multi-Element Z-Y Matching Networks > Rload, Shunt C, Series L/C, Series C to Match Series R-C or R-L Device
Description
Given a series R-C equivalent input or output circuit of a device, this schematic computes component values of a network in order to conjugately match the device to an output resistance. (The series R-C network can be converted to a series R-L network if the capacitance is set to a negative value, with formula given on the schematic.) Starting from a resistance, RL, the networks generate the complex conjugate impedance via a shunt C - series L - series C ladder network.
 | Note For certain desired impedances, the calculated inductor value will be negative. This negative inductor must be replaced with a capacitor. The correct capacitor value when such a replacement is necessary is calculated on the data display. |
Only impedances in one region (hashed in the figure shown here) of the Smith chart can be generated with this network (the resistance of the device must be less than the external load resistance).
Main Schematic Settings
Device equivalent circuit (Series R-C or Series R-L) component values, load resistance, frequency of match, Q of impedance transformation network
Data Display Outputs
- L and C component values of the network
- Reflection coefficient versus frequency (dB and on a Smith chart) looking back into the network from the output resistor, RL, when the other end of the network is terminated in the device's equivalent circuit
