Abstract

Computer-aided design (CAD) tools are always preferred for designing broadband matching networks. However, these tools give excellent results when the suitable matching network topology and initial element values are provided. Therefore, in this brief, a new initialization algorithm is proposed to get suitable network topology and element values for CAD tools. Then, the power transfer capability of the matching network can be improved by using any CAD tool. It is clear from the example studied that the new method generates excellent initials.
