| | Conjugate match - RF Cafe Forums |
Because of the high maintenance needed to monitor and filter spammers from the RF Cafe Forums, I decided that it would
be best to just archive the pages to make all the good information posted in the past available for review. It is unfortunate
that the scumbags of the world ruin an otherwise useful venue for people wanting to exchanged useful ideas and views.
It seems that the more formal social media like Facebook pretty much dominate this kind of venue anymore anyway, so if
you would like to post something on RF Cafe's
Facebook page, please do.
Below are all of the forum threads, including all
the responses to the original posts.

Hello all,
What is the reason of matching a network to a conjugate match?
I know that the conjugate is the inverse of the phase for a given match.
When is there a need to do the matching to the conjugate value?
Thanks,
- T

Theoretically, a complex conjugate match results in maximum transfer of power from the source to the load.

Why conjugate? If Xsource = -Xload then it is resonant and only the source and load resistances influence power transfer.

I failed to find a thorough prove for conjugate match approach, the one published in school books seems a bit too artificial to me. I’d suggest an exercise in math. A passive 2-port is described by Y matrix and on left hand side is connected to source with impedance Zs, while on right hand side is connected to load with impedance Zl. The power transfer function G(Zs,Zl) can be derived analytically, and takes max value when
dG(Zs,Zl)/dZs=0 and dG(Zs,Zl)/dZl=0 simultaneously.
One can take a step further to check whether the solution relates to max (not a min) value. Under conjugate match condition there is no reflection between source and 2-port likewise between 2-port and load. The suggested approach gives similar result if and only if a 2-port is a purely reactive one.
