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, stripline, microstripline, waveguide, lump circuit etc.
Adjustability: some network may need adjustment to match
a variable load.
LOSSY IMPEDANCE MATCHING
Design a Impedance matching Network (IMN) using
lumped component to match ZL=10+j10Ω to Z0=50Ω.
Simple Solution-Lossy.

 Then short circuit length 𝓁Short =(𝓁open -0.25λ)
 If open circuit length 𝓁open < 0.25λ
 Then short circuit length 𝓁Short =(𝓁open +0.25λ)
Similarly
 If short circuit length 𝓁Short > 0.25λ

SINGLE STUB TUNING
A matching technique that uses a single open-
circuited or short-circuited length of transmission
line (a "stub"),

A matching circuit connected either in parallel or


in series with the transmission feed line at a certain
distance from the load, as shown in Figure 5.4
SINGLE STUB TUNING (CONTD.)
The single-stub shunt tuning circuit is shown in Figure 5.4a.
We will first discuss an example illustrating the Smith chart
solution, and then derive formulas for d and l.

(b) Series stub


SINGLE STUB TUNING (CONTD.)
•For a load impedance ZL=60 -j80Ω, design
two single-stub (short circuit) shunt tuning
networks to match this load to a 50Ω line.
Assuming that the load is matched at 2 GHz,
and that the load consists of a resistor and
capacitor in series, plot the reflection
coefficient magnitude from 1 GHz to 3 GHz
for each solution
• The first step is to plot the normalized load impedance
zL= 1.2 - j I .6
• Construct the appropriate SWR circle, and convert to the
load admittance, yL, as shown on the Smith chart in
Figure 5.5a
• The SWR circle intersects the 1+ jb circle at two points,
denoted as y1 and y2 in Figure 5.5a
• Thus the distance d, from the load to the stub, is given by either
of these two intersections
SINGLE STUB
TUNING
(CONTD.)
• Solution of
Example5.2.( a)
Smith chartf or the
shunt-stub tuners
SINGLE STUB TUNING (CONTD.)
• At the two intersection points, the normalized admittances are
y1 = 1.00 + j1.47,
y2 = 1.00 − j1.47.
• Thus, the first tuning solution requires a stub with a
susceptance of −j1.47.
• The length of a short-circuited stub that gives this
susceptance can be found on the Smith chart by
starting at y =∞ (the short circuit) and moving along
the outer edge of the chart (g = 0) toward the generator
to the −j1.47 point. The stub length is then
l1= 0.095λ.
• Similarly, the required short-circuit stub length for the
second solution is
l2 = 0.405λ.

SINGLE STUB TUNING (CONTD.)
SINGLE-STUB SERIES TUNING
• Match a load impedance of ZL = 100 + j80 to a 50Ω
line using a single series open-circuit stub. Assuming
that the load is matched at 2 GHz and that the load
consists of a resistor and inductor in series, plot the
reflection coefficient magnitude from 1 to 3 GHz.
SINGLE STUB TUNING (CONTD.)
• First plot the normalized load impedance, zL = 2 + j1.6, and draw
the SWR circle.
• For the series-stub design the chart is an impedance chart.
• Note that the SWR circle intersects the 1 + j x circle at two
points, denoted as z1 and z2 in Figure 5.6a.
• The shortest distance, d1, from the load to the stub is, from the
WTG scale,
d1 = 0.328 − 0.208 = 0.120λ,
• and the second distance is
d2 = (0.5 − 0.208) + 0.172 = 0.463λ.

STUB
TUNING
(CONTD.)
SINGLE STUB TUNING (CONTD.)
• The normalized impedances at the two intersection points are
z1 = 1 − j1.33,
z2 = 1 + j1.33.
• Thus, the first solution requires a stub with a reactance of
j1.33.
• The length of an open-circuited stub that gives this reactance
can be found on the Smith chart by starting at z =∞(open
circuit), and moving along the outer edge of the chart (r = 0)
toward the generator to the j1.33 point.
• This gives a stub length of
l1 = 0.397λ.
SINGLE STUB TUNING (CONTD.)
• Similarly, the required open-circuited stub length for the
second solution is
l2 = 0.103λ.
SINGLE STUB TUNING (CONTD.)
DISADVANTAGE OF SINGLE-STUB TUNING
The single-stub tuner suffers from the disadvantage
of requiring a variable length of line between the
load and the stub.
This may not be a problem for a fixed matching
circuit.
It would probably pose some difficulty if an
adjustable tuner was desired.
The double-stub tuner, which uses two tuning stubs
in fixed positions, can be used
