Smith Chart S Zg Z0 sinusoidal source ZL z = 0 z Impedance matching is very important to avoid reflected power (loss of efficiency), presence of standing waves (SWR), and strong frequency dependences. • We will discuss two methods: • Quarter-wave transformer • Single-stub matching
Quarter-Wave Transformer Z0 Z0T ZL = RL Zin Quarter-Wave Transformer: First consider a real load. Hence
Quarter-Wave Transformer (cont.) Z0 Z0T ZL = RL Zin Set Hence This yields Thus the tranformer section characteristic impedance is the “geometric mean” of the line and load impedances.
Quarter-Wave Transformer (cont.) Z0 Z0T YL = 1 / ZL Next, consider a general (complex) load impedance ZL. shunt (parallel) susceptance New model: Z0 Z0T
Quarter-Wave Transformer (cont.) Z0 Z0T YL = GL + j BL Ys = jBs Summary of quarter-wave transformer matching method
Quarter-Wave Transformer (cont.) Z0 Z0T YL = GL + j BL Bs = - BL Z0s ls Realization using a shorted stub (An open-circuited stub could also be used.)
Single-Stub Matching A susceptance is added at a distance d from the load. d ZL Y0 = 1 / Z0 1) We choose the distance d so that at this distance from the load (i.e., Gin = Y0) 2) We then choose the shunt susceptance so that
Single-Stub Matching (cont.) d ZL Y0 = 1 / Z0 The feeding transmission line on the left sees a perfect match.
Single-Stub Matching (cont.) d Z0 ZL Z0s ls Realization using a shorted stub (An open-circuited stub could also be used.)
Single-Stub Matching (cont.) d Z0 ZL Z0s ls We use the Smith chart as an admittance calculator to determine the distance d. • Convert the load impedance to a load admittance YL. • Determine the distance d to make the normalized input conductance equal to 1.0. • If desired, we can also use the Smith chart to find the stub length.

Single-Stub Matching (cont.) Next, we find the length of the short-circuited stub: Rotate clockwise from S/C to desired Bs value. Assume Z0s = Z0 Otherwise, we have to first denormalize to the line impedance, then renormalize to stub characteristic impedance! 0+j1 0+j2 0+j0.5 0+j0 0-j0.5 0-j2 0-j1 admittance chart
