Narrower Band Matching With Low Quality Factor Values

Abstract

In this work, a new approach based on quality factor technique is proposed to design narrower band matching networks. The main idea is to use one series and one parallel lossless one-port LC network between generator and load resistances. In the proposed approach, it is not necessary to use a high quality factor value to get narrower band, it is enough to use the quality factor value defined by generator and load resistances. After explaining the rationale of the new approach, an example is given to compare the performances of the proposed and existing methods in the literature. IEEE
