Variability Analysis of T Network Impedance Matching

Abstract

Harmonic rejection ability and reflection coefficient are the most important factors in the design of impedance matching network. However, stability of impedance matching should be taken into account in applications existing load impedance variation and component deviation due to tolerance and process variation. This paper investigates variability of T network impedance matching analytically. The formulas for calculating the resulting reflection coefficient caused by parameter variations are derived from quality factor-based design method. The analysis results can provide reference for design process and an opportunity for a better understanding of the dynamic behavior of the narrowband impedance-matching networks.
