A CAD Method for Designing Broadband Matching Circuits and Broadband Matching Circuits with Frequency-Dependent Transducer Gain
A computer-aided design (CAD) method for designing broadband matching circuits and broadband matching circuits with frequency-dependent transducer gain and its software support are presented in this paper. The method is able to design broadband matching circuits in lumped and distributed elemental bases. Broadband matching circuits with frequency-dependent transducer gain are designed in a lumped elemental basis only. The method is able to handle with arbitrary immitances of the load and the signal source. The method is based on the two-stage procedure. On the first stage an initial approximation is obtained and it is optimized on the second stage. A software product work results are also presented.
