For improved accessibility in moving files, please use the move to dialog option found in the menu. There are two design parameters for single stub matching. One of length d connecting the load to the feedline at aa one of length l connected in parallel this stub is shorted could be open circuit since stub is added in parallel it is easier to work with admittances y matching procedure consists of 2 steps.
In practice, it works fine for a moderate vswr, perhaps 3. They consist of shorted or opened segments of the line, connected in parallel or in series with the line at. A single stub will only achieve a perfect match at one specific frequency. Impedance matching by stubs, single stub and double stub. Given a characteristic impedance of z 0 and a load with complex impedance z l, this application will calculate the values of d and l the real part of the impedance at the stub location must match the transmission line characteristic impedance. Single stub matching is a very common method for impedance matching using microstrip lines at frequences in the uhf band 3003000 mhz and above. A double stub tuner provides variable distance from the load, and is widely used in laboratory practice as a. This script illustrates how to create a plot of return loss magnitude off the matched load, vs series and shunt line lengths. Use a smith chart to design the matching network at 500 mhz. A stub of appropriate length is placed at some distance from the load such that the impedance seen beyond the stub is equal to the char.
The free end of the stub is either left opencircuit or especially in the case of waveguides shortcircuited. It consists of an open or short circuited section of transmission line of length l t,connected in parallel with the main line at distance l s from the load z r. This video demonstrates the calculation of location and length of single stub for achieving impedance matching using smith chart. The construction of the short circuited section is similar to the main line. Double stub matching is used as an alternative to single stub because in single stub the stub is placed only at specific point and that specific point may be at a wrong place where it is not needed so the double stubs used to match the load. Single stub matching single stub matching using parallel connection. Impedance matching and smith charts john staples, lbnl. We see in this tutorial how to do singlestub shunt matching we see how to use smith chart and also rectangular to get matching to start ads in the sun lab type. Calculation of a single stub tuner we will use the smith chart to calculate a tuner that matches a 25 ohm resistive load to a 50 ohm transmission line at 100 mhz.
Stub has the same characteristic impedance as the main line. I have not seen any mention of a use for the second case, a short circuited stub. It is possible to cancel out this reflection by adding an equal and opposite reflection from a side arm or stub, at least over a narrow range of. The second use is a quarter wave matching transformer. In the single stub matching stub length and position of the stub on transmission line need to be changed as load impedance changes, in practice it is difficult to implement. Using the two pictures seen in on page 3 myproject. Calculation of a singlestub tuner we will use the smith chart to calculate a tuner that matches a 25 ohm resistive load to a 50 ohm transmission line at 100 mhz. Terminated transmission line with singlestub matching stub. Single stub matching of a transmission line a single short circuited transmission line is a distance d from the load and of length d. You will be introduced to passive components and sparameter element and fine tuning the circuit.
One of length d connecting the load to the feedline at aa. Single stub matching georgia institute of technology. While the theory of stub matching is beyond the scope of this article, the following example illustrates how it may be performed using the aa3rl tlcalc spreadsheet. A single stub matching network can be designed to produce maximum power transfer to the load, at a single frequency. Singlestub tuner impedance matching university of san diego. Understanding impedance matching, using single shunt stubopenshort for making impedance matching. In theory, you can match any impedance with a single transmission line stub in the right place a series transmission line and a stub. Matching stubs can be made adjustable so that matching can be corrected on test. The two design parameters of this matching network are lengths a and d. Eee 171 ekim impedance matching with single stub tuners 1 impedance matching using single stub tuners the load impedance z l can be matched to the characteristic impedance of the transmission line z o using either a specified length of single short or open circuit stub placed a specified distance. Note the stub is attached in parallel at the source end of the primary line. Rg6 coax for the matching section because it is relatively inexpensive and lowloss, but i want a 50. The concept was extended in 12, where a dual band 9001800 mhz terminal antenna of similar size as in this paper was matched using an open microstrip stub for extension of the lower band for gsm850900 coverage.
