1. IMPEDANCE MATCHING-QUATERWAVE
TRANSFORMER
AIM:
To design a quarter wave transformer to match a load impedance of Z L=72ohm with
50ohm source impedance .Obtain the reflection coefficient in db and transmission
coefficient(db) at port1 and port2
TOOL USED:
AWR microwave software
SPECIFICATIONS:
Er=2.2
H=2.4mm
Tand=0.002
T=0.05mm
f=2.4GHz
Z o=50 ohm
CIRCUIT DIAGRAM:
CALCULATION:
Z in 50 ohm,
Z
GRAPHS:
[S] parameters in db and without db
73 ohm
RESULT:
The quarter wave transformer has to match the load impedance to the source
impedance at an operating frequency of 2.4GHz.so, the reflection coefficient has been
analyzed and it is found that the reflection coefficient is almost zero at the frequency of
operation
