| Radio Design 101 - Episode 2 - Impedance Matching - Part 2 Impedance Matching networks. This is the second half of episode 2 in the Radio Design 101 series, which centers around and supports a senior-level design course taught at Kansas State University. This episode started with the "big picture" on why impedance matching is needed in RF circuits and then focused on a design example using a Low Noise Amplifier in part 1. In this Part 2 video we review the L-match and discuss alternative Pi, T, and LL networks as well as RF transformers and tapped LC designs. Part 2 also shows how these are used in actual radio / wireless products, starting from the first crystal radios and proceeding to modern single-chip transceiver designs. https://youtu.be/ZWBem8GTzNs |
