Abstract:The theory of coupled-resonator-based impedance tuners is presented for the first time, establishing coverage limitations for two-and three-resonator designs. Besides the advantages of resonant impedance tuners, practical considerations including resonator loss and limited tuning range are included in the analysis. From this theoretical background, a rigorous design procedure is presented for creating optimal resonant impedance tuners, designed for maximum Smith chart coverage, for both the two-and three-pole … Show more
