EEE341 Lab 3:Matching Networks

1 Objective

To simulate in ADS the performance of quarter-wave transformer and single-


stub networks for matching a given load to a 50Ω transmission line.

2 Introduction

Impedance matching is the practice of designing an ideally lossless network to


modify the input impedance of an electrical load; so as to match the output
impedance of its corresponding signal source. Matching is done in order to
maximize the power deliver to (or minimize signal refection from) the load.
Many techniques are available to design matching networks. In this lab, we
examine the design and performance of two practical matching networks:
• Quarter Wavelength Transformer.
• Single-Stub Tuner.

3 Pre-Lab

1. Design a quarter-wave matching transformer to match a 10Ω load to a


50Ω line. Assume a design frequency of 300MHz.
2. Design a single-stub tuner to match a load impedance comprising a
series RC where R = 60Ω and C = 0.995pF to a 50Ω line. Assume a
design frequency of 2GHz. Find the solution using the shortest length
of open-circuited stub. To solve stub matching problems, some very
useful MATLAB les can be found in Canvas under Module 5 Sup-
plementary Material.

4 Procedure

4.1 Quarter-Wave Transformer

In this section you will simulate in ADS the quarter-wave transformer match-
ing network that you designed in pre-lab.

Figure 4.1: Quarter-Wave matching network.

Build the circuit shown in Fig.4.1 in ADS. Note that the characteris-
tic impedance of the quarter-wave section has been left blank. Be sure to
enter the value that you have obtained from pre-lab section into your own
schematic. Simulate the circuit, and then generate a plot to demonstrate the
magnitude of the refection coecient (S11 ) vs. frequency over the frequency
range from 100MHz to 1000MHz.
When you plot the S11 for the quarter-wave transformer matching net-
work, you should see additional frequencies at which the load is matched to
the source. Why is that happening?

4.2 Single Shunt-Stub Tuner

In this section you will simulate in ADS the single-stub matching network
that you designed in pre-lab.

Figure 4.2: Single-Stub matching network with ideal components.

Build the circuit shown in Fig.4.2 in ADS. Note that the electrical lengths
of the transmission lines comprising the single-stub tuner have been left
blank. Be sure to enter the values that you have obtained from the pre-
lab into your own schematic. Simulate the circuit, and then generate a plot
to demonstrate the magnitude of the refection coecient (S11 ) vs. frequency
over the frequency range from 1GHz to 3GHz.
There is another single-stub solution using open-circuited stub to match
the RC load to 50Ω transmission line. Design that matching network, im-
plement it in ADS (using ideal component) and then plot S11 vs. frequency
over the same frequency range. Compare your results for this solution to the
ones for your original solution.
