Abstrakt: Impedance matching networks using lumped inductors and capacitors are only applicable at lower radio frequencies (RF). At high microwave frequencies, transmission lines should be used in matching network design, but the required substrate area may be too large. This paper presents a dual-section matching network design method that uses the shortest possible transmission lines. It is particularly advantageous for radio frequency integrated circuit (RFIC) design. Both single- and dual-section solutions are presented with detailed equations and design methodologies. The methods are flexible enough to accommodate the modification of the line width to an attainable value, with a trade-off of a slight increase in the overall transmission line length. The Q-factor and bandwidth can be adjusted to suit different application needs by modifying the line width and length. A few design examples are presented herein. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
