Abstract :
In this letter, we propose a practical three-section dual-band transformer, which can terminate frequency-dependent complex load impedance at two arbitrary bands simultaneously. Analytical equations are derived to achieve the exact closed-form solutions. Numerical examples are examined to verify the validity. This three-section transformer can be utilized to match the complex load impedance with unequal values at two different frequencies, such as microwave amplifiers based on transistors, mixers, various kinds of antennas, and so forth.
