Introduction (1)
Why impedance matching ?
Maximization of the return loss for Gain Amplifier.
Minimization of the Noise Figure for Low Noise Amplifier
Maximization of the output power for Power Amplifier.
Minimization of signal distortion in transmission lines, avoiding wavefront reflections and pulse superposition.
4
To avoid unnecessary power loss, lossless matching network are considered.
The Lossless Matching Network transforms ZL into 50 Ω or 50 Ω into ZL
*.
Simple Matching Networks are usually more reliable than more complex Networks .Matching Network can be carried out with:

The Smith Chart (SC) is a graphical tool useful to design high frequency circuits.
Every point on the SC represents a normalized impedance and the corresponding reflection coefficient.
The SC is achieved by plotting on the plane of the reflection coefficient the curves corresponding to constant resistance and reactance values.

Placing the constant resistance circles on the constant reactance circles the SC is achieved.
Γ can be expressed as a function of the normalized admittance
So the SC of the admittance is obtained by a 180° rotation of the impedance Smith Chart

In microwave circuits the transmission lines are fundamentally used:
• to convey high frequency signals from one point to another point.
• to obtain filters and matching networks.

With lumped elements
1. The first two elements are selected to position the mid frequency impedance point to accept RLmax (YI-ZI or YII-ZII)
2. The other two elements form a series or shunt resonant circuit which wraps the load curve into the required RLmax circle.

The first section is a high impedance line. It must transform the load admittance so that the resulting conductances at fl and fhare equal.TLs with high characteristic impedance allow to obtain YA with smaller susceptance at fl and fh.

The TL width relative to high Y2 values is a significant fraction of λ, so the position of the line is not well defined. To reduce Y2 value :

Conclusions
Some fundamental points about matching have been examined.
A systematic approach for matching network design has been described.
In order to demonstrate the usefulness of the proposed approaches a gain amplifier design has been carried out.
