simulation of an impedance step, Transistor -> Match Net. - RF Cafe Forums

The original RF Cafe Forums were shut down in late 2012 due to maintenance issues - primarily having to spend time purging garbage posts from the board. At some point I might start the RF Cafe Forums again if the phpBB software gets better at filtering spam.

Below are the old forum threads, including responses to the original posts.

Hi together,

I wonder how to simulate follwing condition correctly:

I have a Transistor with a connection lead of 12 mm width.
My first matching element has a width of 23mm.
I have a large signal model of the transistor for my simulator (ADS).
Das anyone konw, how to simulate the behaviour correctley?

Transistor -> Microstripline (width 23mm),

or

Transisor -> Impedance Step (12mm -> 23mm) -> Microstip (23mm)


Both simulatons show different results.

Would be happy for the comments from you.

Ingo

Hello Ingo,

The second option which you mentioned, namely to use an impedance step is the right one. Of course that both simulations show different results, because you have a discontinuity in the impedance if you don't use an impedance step, and therfore you get an impedance mismatch and poor return loss.
