Abstract :
Design equations are derived for an RLC matching network. The equations can be applied in lossy-match MESFET amplifiers to give flat gain and low SWR (standing wave ratio) over wide bandwidths. Experimental results are presented for a monolithic 1-20-GHz amplifier. The theory is useful, in general, for the design of wideband, resistive matching networks for capacitive loads with a small series resistance.<>
