Also the </p> <p>losses in the designed circuits should be kept as low as possible. Unfortunately, especially at microwave frequencies, it is not </p> <p>possible to avoid the losses caused by the connections between the lumped elements. However, the use of these connections as </p> <p>circuit elements will improve the performance of the circuit. Therefore, it is inevitable to use circuits containing mixed </p> <p>(lumped and distributed) elements at microwave frequencies. Mixed lumped and distributed element two-port networks are </p> <p>described by means of two-variable scattering equations. So it is necessary to obtain the solutions of these equations to design </p> <p>this kind of networks. In literate, the solutions of these equations for some classes of low-order ladder networks are given </p> <p>under some restrictions. But in this paper, a broadband matching network is designed by using explicit solutions of the </p> <p>equations without any restrictions. Then the obtained results and the results obtained in the literature have been compared. </p>}, number={2}, publisher={SET Teknoloji}
