High-Pass Filter• Use Prototype Low-Pass Filter Equations
• Transform L’s and C’s
• Use odd order filters where possible
• Convert L’s via Richardson’s Transforms
• Maintain lumped parameter C’s and use waveguide L’s

Art of Designing Matching Networks
ELEC 412 -Lecture 17 10
More Complicated Networks
• Three-element Pi and T networks permit the matching of almost any load conditions
• Added element has the advantage of more flexibility in the design process (fine tuning)
• Provides quality factor design (see Ex. 8.4)
ELEC 412 -Lecture 17 11
Quality Factor
• Resonance effect has implications on design of matching network.
• Loaded Quality Factor: QL = fO/BW
• If we know the Quality Factor Q, then we can find BW
• Estimate Q of matching network using Nodal Quality Factor Qn
• At each circuit node can find Qn = |Xs|/Rs or Qn = |BP|/GP and
• QL = Qn/2 true for any L-type Matching Network

Nodal Quality Factors
Qn = |x|/r =2|i| / [(1- r)2 + i2

Microstripline Matching Network
• Distributed microstip lines and lumped capacitors
• less susceptible to parasitics
• easy to tune
• efficient PCB implementation
• small size for high frequency

lS is the unbalance stub length and lSB is the balanced stub length.
Balanced lengths can also be found graphically using the Smith Chart
