2 Impedance-Matching: Goals

3 Recall: ine Reflections At end of line : V At beginning of line : V ( z 0) V ( z l) V s (z 0) where ( z l) T V s gen where o o s 1 1 s o 1 1 s o

4 ine Reflections and Standing Waves Reflections : V ( z Waves traveling along line : V ( z 0) V l) V (z 0) and ( z 0) e j2l / V ( z and V l) V ( z s l) V ( z ( z l) T V 0) e s gen j2l / Varying frequency, V and V will vary from in - phase to out and will vary from constructive to destructive interference. load voltage will vary withfrequency. - of - phase...

5 Matching to Eliminate Gain Ripple Gain ripplesresulting from standing waves on line Matching will eliminate this One reason for impedance - matching is to eliminate gain ripplefrom standing waves on lines

6 Maximum Power Transfer Theorem (M aximum) P avg V gen 2 Power Available / 4 Re{ gen } from the Generator (RM Squantities) : oad Power : P P P P AVG AVG iff otherwise * gen ;

7 Matching For Maximum Power Transfer By adding a *lossless* matching network (no resistances) between the generator and we obtain P P AVG the load, Another reason for impedance - matching is to increase signal power transferred.

8 Matching for no reflection vs. matching for max Power Transfer 1 st case : out, line gen nd case : out, line gen 0 0 If, 0 out, line then matching for zero reflection and matching for maximum power transfer are not thesame.

9 Direct Interstage Matching vs. Matching Each to o Matching each to 0 Direct Stage -Stage Matching Note: in 2 jl 2 jl, line o(1 e ) /(1 e ), l can be any length, including zero.

10 Impedance-Matching: Using Agilent / ADS in "tune" mode as a study tool.

11 Use CAD Tool (Agilent) ADS to Explore Matching Classic Texts : present Matching with On - Paper Smith - Chart Exer cises. Today : Matchingeasily presented graphicall y in CAD program. First : Show how to tune networksin ADS. Second : Illustrate matching examples.

12 Tuning Elements in ADS (1) " Match"here is a circuit, having a MOSFETand an input matching network

13 Tuning Elements in ADS (2) Use series, shunt C network tomatch in to 0. Very simple MOSFET small - signal model

14 Setting Up Element Tuning in ADS: Double - click on 1, then presstune/opt/stat...: Enable tuning, then set min, max, step values...

15 Setting Up Element Tuning in ADS: 1 is now a tunable element : Do thesame for C1 :

16 Setting Up Element Tuning in ADS: Go to the main testbench and select tuning : Then manipulate windows until youcan see both the"tune Parameters" window and the Plot window

17 Setting Up Element Tuning in ADS: Usually easiest to make plot updateafter every tuning change : the Need to updateschematic after tuning : otherwise, you will lose the changes made.
