Introduction to matching networks
Matched condition: It when generator impedance,
transmission line impedance and loaded impedance are
terminated to Zo.
Why do we want to match a
transmission line?
In order deliver maximum power to the
load.
Avoid generator damage
Wide bandwidth over a range of
frequencies.
 Simplest Matching Method:
we want at some point on the line, the normalized
impedance ζ = 1 + j 0.

Step 1:
So, we can always find a point on the line
where the real part r is 1. Let’s say this
point is l fromthe load.

Step-2: Cancel out the impedance jx by
connecting at point P a reactive
impedance having an impedance of –jx
(open series stub, Fig. 1) or admittance of
–jb (shorted parallel stub Fig. 2)

Exercise 2
A 50 Ω lossless transmission line is connected
to a load impedance ZL=50-j100. Find the
position d and length l of a short-circuit stub
required to match the load at a frequency of 200
MHz.
