Short description This book provides practical real frequency techniques (RFT) for designing power transfer or matching networks, which are essential for optimal power delivery in wideband communication systems. Divided into two parts, it first covers existing power transfer problems at wideband frequencies and the difficulties involved with the design of efficient networks, as well as setting out classical filter and analytic theories of single and double matching. The second part covers practical design procedures for networks at wideband frequencies, including designs with commensurate transmission lines, and with mixed lumped and distributed elements.
