Impedance matching_smith impedance matching and Smith chart: basic principles | ||Reposted from maxim ||Address: http://cn.maxim-ic.com/appnotes.cfm/appnote_number/742/ ||This article uses the Smith chart as a design guide for RF impedance matching. The article gives examples of drawing reflection coefficient, impedance and admittance, and uses the graphical method to design a matching network with a frequency of 60MHz. ||Practice has proved that the Smith chart is still a basic tool for calculating transmission line impedance. ||When dealing with practical application problems of RF systems, there are always some very difficult tasks, and matching the different impedances of various cascaded circuits is one of them. Generally speaking, the circuits that need to be matched include matching between the antenna and the low noise amplifier (LNA), matching between the power amplifier output (RF||OUT) and the antenna, and matching between the LNA/VCO output and the mixer input. The purpose of matching is to ensure that the signal or energy is effectively transmitted from the \"signal source\" to the \"load\". ||At high frequencies, parasitic components (such as inductance on the connection, capacitance between board layers, and resistance of conductors)||have a significant and unpredictable effect on the matching network. When the frequency is above tens of megahertz, theoretical||calculations and simulations are far from meeting the requirements. In order to obtain appropriate final results, RF testing in the laboratory and appropriate tuning must also be considered. Calculated values are needed to determine the structural type of the circuit||and the corresponding target component values. ||There are many methods for impedance matching, including: ||Computer simulation: ……
