Abstract :
In this paper, a novel method for interstage matching network design in the smith chart is presented. This technique is based on matching the reflection coefficients between input of interstage matching network and S22 of the first transistor with considering input VSWR and the gain of the complete amplifier (or output of the complete amplifier if the matching is applied to the output of the interstage matching network). Also, the novel locus of constant gain and VSWR of interstage matching network are presented in the smith chart.
