Abstract

In this paper, a new approach based on the real frequency technique (RFT) has been proposed to solve broadband matching problems using cascaded unequal length transmission lines. At the end of the design process, optimum characteristic impedance and delay values of transmission lines are obtained. Two examples are given to illustrate the utilization of the proposed approach.

This paper was recommended by Regional Editor Piero Malcovati.
