Microwave Characteristics
• Electromagnetic waves which travel in free space with velocity of light .
• Size of the microwave component and circuits are within an
Order of magnitude of the operating wavelength hence field theory is
valid at microwaves and not circuit theory.
• Third important characteristic of microwave is skin effect, as skin effect
is function of frequency, depth of penetration decreases with increasing
frequency.
eg at 1000MHz,skin depth for copper is only few microns as a result,
microwaves current tends to flow along the surface of conductor.

Microwave Characteristics
• The fourth unique characteristics of microwaves is associated
with measurement techniques. most of the microwave
measurement involves the accurate measurement of
impedance and power, rather than V and I

Scattering Parameters

 At high frequencies, Z, Y, h & ABCD parameters are difficult (if not impossible) to
measure.
• V and I are not uniquely defined
• Even if defined, V and I are extremely difficult to measure (particularly I).
• Required open and short-circuit conditions are often difficult to achieve.

scattering (S) parameters are often the best representation for multi-port networks at high
frequency.

Why matching or tuning is important?
• To maximize power delivery and minimize power loss.
• To improve signal to noise ratio as in sensitive receiver
components such as LNA, antenna, etc.
• To reduce amplitude and phase error as in distributed network
such as antenna array.

Factors in selecting matching network
• Complexity: simpler, cheaper, more reliable and low loss circuit is
preferred.
• Bandwidth: match over a desirable bandwidth.
• Implementation: depend on types of transmission line either cable, strip
line, micro stripline, waveguide, lump circuit etc.
• Adjustability:some network may need adjustment to match a variable
load.

Matching with lumped elements
The simplest matching network is an L-section using two reactive elements

jX

Configuration 1
Whence RL>Zo Z o jB Z L

ZL=RL+jXL

jX

Configuration 2
Whence RL<Zo Z o jB Z L

Konkan Gyanpeeth College of Engineering, Karjat Department: Electronics and telecommunication Engg
continue
If the load impedance (normalized) lies
in unity circle, configuration 1 is
used.Otherwise configuration 2 is used.

The reactive elements are either


inductors or capacitors. So there are 8
possibilities for matching circuit for
various load impedances. Configuration 2 Configuration 1

Matching by lumped elements are


possible for frequency below 1 GHz or for
higher frequency in integrated circuit(MIC,
MEM).

Example
Design two single–stub shunt tuning networks to match a load ZL=15+j10W to 50W at 2GHz. The load
consists of a resistor and inductor in series. Plot the reflection magnitude from 1 GHz to 3 GHz for each
solution.
Solution
•Normalized the load zL=0.3+j0.2
•Construct SWR circle and convert load to admittance
•Then move from load to generator to meet a circle (1+jb) to obtain two points i.e y1=1-j1.33 and
y2=1+j1.33.
•The distance d from the load to stub is obtained either of these two points i.e. d1= 0.044l and
d2=0.387l.
• To improve bandwidth, the stub is chosen as close as possible to the load.
•The tuning requires a stub of j1.33 for y1 and –j1.33 for y2.
•For open circuit-stub i1 =0.147l and i2=0.353l.

Match a load impedance of ZL=100+j80 to a 50 W line using a single series open-stub.Assuming the
load consists of resistor and inductor in series at 2GHz. Plot the reflection coefficient from 1 GHz to 3
GHz.
Solution

•Normalized the load zL=2+j1.6


•Construct SWR circle
•Then move from load to generator to obtain two points on unity circle(1+jx) z1=1-j1.33 and z2=1+j1.33.
•The distance d from the load to stub is obtained either of these two points i.e. d1= 0.120l and
d2=0.463l.
• To improve bandwidth, the stub is chosen as close as possible to the load.
•The tuning requires a stub of j1.33 for z1 and –j1.33 for z2.
•For open circuit-stub i1 =0.397l and i2=0.103l.

Example
Design a double-stub shunt tuner to match a load ZL=60-j80 to a 50 W line. The stubs are to be short
circuited stubs, and are spaced l /8 apart. The load consists of a series resistor and capacitor that
match at 2 GHz. Plot the reflection coefficient magnitude versus frequency from 1 GHz to 3GHz.

Solution

•Plot normalized load zL=1.2 –j 1.6 W and convert to admittance we have yL= 0.3 +j0.4.
•Construct a rotated 1+ j b circle which is a distance d=l/8 from a 1+jb circle. Get two possible
points on the rotated 1+jb circle, y1 and y1’ by adding susceptance of the first stubs. In this case
we take x=0(match section immediate after the load . I.e b1=1.314 and b1’=-0.114.The length of
stub will be i1=0.396l and i1’=0.232l.
•Now transform both point onto 1+jb circle along SWR circles.This bring two solution y2 =1-j3.38
and y2’=1+j1.38.
•Then the second stub should be b2= 3.38 and b2’=-1.38. The length of stub will be i2=0.454l
and i2’=0.100l.

Single-stub Matching in a Lossless Line

Shunt stub
In order to avoid complicated mathematics, graphical solutions using Smith chart
are widely used in the matching design.

when only load is connected, a voltage standing wave is formed in the line.

If we move away from the complex load towards the generator along the line, there are
voltage minima at which the reflection coefficient is a negative real quantity and the
input admittance is pure conductance of value Yin = (1 – G)/(1 + G)
= g = S, where S is the load VSWR.

Konkan Gyanpeeth College of Engineering, Karjat Department: Electronics and telecommunication Engg
there are voltage maxima at which the admittance is pure conductance of value
Yin = (1 + G)/(1 – G) = 1/S.

there must be a point at a certain distance d(say) towards the generator from the
first voltage minimum where the real part of the normalized admittance is unity, so
that yin = 1 ± jb.

The reactive component ±jb of this admittance can be cancelled by an equal and
opposite susceptance ∓jb of a short-circuited shunt stub of length l, located at that
point, and having characteristic impedance equal to that of the line, i.e. Z0.

Konkan Gyanpeeth College of Engineering, Karjat Department: Electronics and telecommunication Engg
The total normalized admittance of the terminated line and the stub looking towards
the load is then yt = 1 ± jb ∓ j cot bl = 1; so that cot bl = b

Example
Match a load impedance of ZL=100+j80 to a 50 W line using a single series open-stub.Assuming the
load consists of resistor and inductor in series at 2GHz. Plot the reflection coefficient from 1 GHz to 3
GHz.
Solution

•Normalized the load zL=2+j1.6


•Construct SWR circle
•Then move from load to generator to obtain two points on unity circle(1+jx) z1=1-j1.33 and z2=1+j1.33.
•The distance d from the load to stub is obtained either of these two points i.e. d1= 0.120l and
d2=0.463l.
• To improve bandwidth, the stub is chosen as close as possible to the load.
•The tuning requires a stub of j1.33 for z1 and –j1.33 for z2.
•For open circuit-stub i1 =0.397l and i2=0.103l.

L-section matching network
EXAMPLE 5.1 L-SECTION IMPEDANCE MATCHING
Design an L-section matching network to match a series RC load with an impedance
ZL = 200 − j100 to a 100 line at a frequency of 500 MHz.

Konkan Gyanpeeth College of Engineering, Karjat Department: Electronics and telecommunication Engg 119
solution
The normalized load impedance is zL = 2 − j 1, which is plotted on the Smith chart of
Figure 5.3a.

This point is inside the 1 + j x circle, so we use the matching circuit of Figure 5.2a.

Because the first element from the load is a shunt susceptance, it makes sense to convert
to admittance by drawing the SWR circle through the load, and a straight line from the
load through the center of the chart, as shown in Figure 5.3a.
