A simplified approach to the design of transmission-line matching circuits uses analytical equations to calculate the circuits elements for L, , and T transformers.

ATCHING circuits allow power amplifiers (PAs) to attain high gain, high linearity, high efficiency, and high stability over a narrow or wide frequency band. The techniques for designing PAmatching circuits are especially important for circuits that use transmission lines, where determining circuit parameters is more complicated than for lumped-element ma
