Abstract:
|
A novel three-line-microstrip compact impedance tuner is presented. It is based on a multimodal structure wherein six variable capacitances, implemented with two parallel-connected varactors each, create multiple interactions among the three-line-microstrip modes in a reduced circuit area. Experimental results show better-than-70% coverage of the Smith chart in an 85% frequency bandwidth from 1.4 to 3.2 GHz. |
