Abstract :
A practical real frequency technique for broadband impedance matching is based on bilinear reflection behavior versus lumped and distributed element variables. An efficient grid search locates a likely-global solution so that a precise constrained gradient optimization can eliminate unnecessary elements in candidate networks
