Abstract :
Although lossy matching is not a standard antenna matching technique, well-designed losses can facilitate wide-band matching of otherwise unmatchable antennas. The lossy matching designs developed in this paper are based on the Pareto front. These Pareto front computations permit the circuit designer to graphically select optimal gain-reflection tradeoffs for lossy matching, readily incorporate other lossless matching bounds, and provide a general approach to difficult wide-band matching problems.
