Lab 1 - Interactive Impedance Transformation: Lumped L impedance Matching Objectives To illustrate the basic of lumped-elements impedance matching. To demonstrate the use equations for calculation in schematic and data display windows. To perform interactive tuning features in Agilent Advanced Design System (ADS) software for simple impedance matching. Background Impedance transformation serves many purposes in high frequency circuits, among them are to: (1) Enable maximum power transfer between a source and load network. (2) To tune the performance of the circuit by controlling the impedance of the source or load, for instance in low noise amplifier design the source impedance determines the noise contribution of the amplifier. In oscillator design the load impedance will affect the oscillation frequency. In this lab, impedance transformation principle will be demonstrated using the ADS via the interactive approach. The convention for terms used in impedance transformation is shown in Figure 1.1. The impedance network used is the L impedance transformation network. The L lumped impedance matching approach has two configurations, depending upon the values of source resistance RS and load resistance RL. The schematics and analytical expressions for the reactance and susceptance of the L network for the two cases are shown in Figure 1.2. For greater flexibility, we can use graphical method employing the Smith chart, which can cater to matching network with more than two elements. The complexity of the analytical expression grows exponentially with additional component, whereas the complexity of the graphical method is only linearly dependent on the amount of elements within the matching network.
