| Radio Design 101 - Episode 2 - Impedance Matching - Part 1 Impedance Matching networks. This is episode 2 in the Radio Design 101 series that centers around and supports a senior-level design course taught at Kansas State University. This episode starts with the "big picture" on why impedance matching is needed in RF circuits and then focuses on a design example using a Low Noise Amplifier. The example uses L-type circuit architectures, but the material is general. A companion Part 2 video will discuss alternative Pi, T, and LL networks as well as RF transformers and tapped LC designs. Part 2 will also show how these are used in actual radio / wireless products. https://youtu.be/WXdGKErCjZw |
