Introduction:

In this lab we will be using lumped components to match impedance between source and load.
Initially we will be doing some theoretical calculations and then using ADS software to see that
practically how it works by the help of smith charts. So the objectives can be summed up as:

1. Basic of 2-elements impedance matching/transformation method.

2. Using Advance Design System (ADS) software for impedance transformation.

Theoretical calculations:
ZI = 35+j20 at 450.0 MHz.

The load is modeled by a 300 resistor in parallel with a 0.82 pF capacitor.

(a) At 450.0 MHz, calculate the load impedance ZL:

w= Angular velocity=9*pi*(10^8) rad/sec

ZL=1/ [(1/300)+(1*j*0.82*9*pi*(10^-4))]=(202.18-140.63j)ohms

(b) Depending on the value of impedance calculated which configuration of Figure 2.2 is to be
used and why?

Since RL>Rs, configuration of figure A) shown below is to be used.

(c) Using appropriate equations of the configuration determined in (b), determine the values
of B and X.
B=6.85*10^-3 S

X=116.36 ohms

(d) Assume that the susceptance B can be synthesized by capacitor C while the reactance X can
be synthesized by inductance L. Calculate the values of these lumped components at 450.0 MHz

C=2.42 pF

L=4.115*10^-8 H

CIRCUIT DIAGRAM:

Procedure:
We first noted that in the given scenario the condition RL>Rs is satisfied, so we used the configuration
mentioned in fig.2.2 A). Now in this configuration first element from ZL is in shunt and second is in
series. We implemented it using ADS in the form of two cases. In the first case inductor was in shunt
from the load and capacitor was in series. In the second case capacitor was in shunt from the load and
inductor was in series. The results of both are shown below:
Results:

For inductor in shunt and capacitor in series:

C=4.68 pF ; L=30.61 nH
For capacitor in shunt and inductor in series:

C=2.43 pF ; L=41.025 nH

Calculate the B and X from the smith chart.

B smith chart=2*pi*f*C=6.87*10^-3 S
X smith chart=2*pi*f*L=115.99 ohms

1. Insert your matching network (calculated from formulas and smith chart values one
schematic for each) in the schematic and perform the S-parameter simulation.
What impedance does the S(1,1) show (calculated)?

S(1,1) Impedance=(0.72/-13.59)

What impedance does the S(1,1) show (smith chart)?

Write some brief comments about “L” segment impedance matching

it is an effective technique for impedance matching as it gives the user variety of options to
work with. We can match impedance without adding any lossy component(resistors).although
ion some cases it may give distorted output but this technique is generally very useful.

Conclusion:
In this lab we used lumped components to match impedance between source and load. Initially
we did impedance matching theoretically. We learnt about two configurations (RL<Rs and
RL>RS). We performed calculations to find out values of L and C. In the end we used ADS
software to see that how the concept of impedance matching works, by the help of smith charts.
