Synthesis of lumped and distributed networks for impedance matching of complex loads
R. Cottee, William Thomas Joines · IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems · 1979
Numerically generated results based on existing theoretical restrictions are presented enabling the straight-forward synthesis of ladder type networks for matching a resistive source to a complex load. Transfer functions used in the synthesis allow increased bandwidths via tradeoffs with reflection coefficients. Both lumped and distributed networks are treated and are fully illustrated with practical examples including, in the distributed case, experimental verification.
