10.59: For Problem 10.57, design a matching network using lumped elements.

In the
sketch of your solution, indicate line lengths in terms of wavelength.

Setup: See Example 10.21.

Solution:
We first design the lumped element
matching network to achieve
D
Γ L = S22
*
= 0.86e j 74 .

For this type of problem we actually work

backwards, starting from point c and
working back to point a, to identify the
location of the points. Then we work the
matching network forwards to determine
the component values. From the matched
condition at point a, we add a shunt
inductance to point b’ (-j2.0). Then,
transforming to the impedance chart, we
add a series inductance to reach point c
(j1.3 – j0.4 = j0.9).

For the shunt inductance we have:

− jZ o
− j 2.0 = , or
ωL

L= = 2nH
2 ( 2π ) ( 2 x109 )

For the series inductance,

jω L
j 0.9 = , or
Zo

L=
( 0.9 )( 50 ) = 3.6nH .
2π ( 2 x109 )

Now we design the lumped element matching network to achieve

D
Γ S = S11* = 0.68e − j125 .

From the matched condition at point a, we add a shunt capacitance to point b’ (j1.8).
Then, transforming to the impedance chart, we add a series capacitance to reach point c (-
j0.49 + j0.42 = -j0.07).
