BROADBAND DOUBLE-MATCHING VIA LOSSLESS UNSYMMETRICAL LATTICE NETWORKS

Abstract

In this paper, a broadband double-matching network design algorithm has been presented. In the network, an unsymmetrical lattice network has been used. The branch impedances of the lattice network are composed of singly terminated lossless LC networks. After giving the procedure, its usage has been illustrated via an example.
