INPUT VSWR MINIMIZATION FOR A TRANSMISSION LINE WITH MULTIPLE DISCONTINUITIES.

Abstract

A technique using an isometric-circle interpretation of a bilinear transformation has been developed for minimizing the input VSWR of a transmission line consisting of multiple discontinuities joined by line sections. It makes possible the determination not only of the minimum attainable input VSWR but also of the required line lengths between the successive discontinuities. The case for N real and equal discontinuities is particularly simple, and the necessary conditions for obtaining a perfect match are established. Numerical examples are given. (Author)
