You will be introduced to passive components and sparameter element and fine tuning the circuit.
Stub has the same characteristic impedance as the main line. For improved accessibility in moving files, please use the move to dialog option found in the menu. The drawback of this approach is that if the load is changed, the location of insertion may have to be moved. Singlestub matching is a very common method for impedance matching using microstrip lines at frequences in the uhf band 3003000 mhz and above. Double stub matching is used as an alternative to single stub because in single stub the stub is placed only at specific point and that specific point may be at a wrong place where it is not needed so the double stubs used to match the load. But double stub matching using labview is better method for impedance matching. Any load impedance can be matched to the line by using single stub technique. Using the formula we see that we can match zin to zload by a line with a suitable z0. A single stub will only achieve a perfect match at one specific frequency.
The free end of the stub is either left opencircuit or especially in the case of waveguides shortcircuited. A single stub matching network can be designed to produce maximum power transfer to the load, at a single frequency. Simulation of double stub impedance matching using labview. Terminated transmission line with singlestub matching stub. Single stub matching of a transmission line application. In the single stub matching stub length and position of the stub on transmission line need to be changed as load impedance changes, in practice it is difficult to implement. Single stub matching pdf there are two design parameters for single stub matching. Verify the matching network at 500 mhz using the motorola impedance.
In practice, it works fine for a moderate vswr, perhaps 3. Single stub matching of a transmission line a single short circuited transmission line is a distance d from the load and of length d. I have not seen any mention of a use for the second case, a short circuited stub. How to use a smith chart to design a single parallel short. Given a characteristic impedance of z 0 and a load with complex impedance z l, this application will calculate the values of d and l the real part of the impedance at the stub location must match the transmission line characteristic impedance. Eee 171 ekim impedance matching with single stub tuners 1 impedance matching using single stub tuners the load impedance z l can be matched to the characteristic impedance of the transmission line z o using either a specified length of single short or open circuit stub placed a specified distance. Stub matches are widely used to match any complex load to a transmission line.

It consists of a transmission line with a stub of short or open circuit that can be used as the reactive element in the impedance matching method. So, if you have a single stub matching network set up for a given load, and the stub is a shorted stub, then if you replace it with an open stub 1 the position that the stub joins the main line does not change 2 the length of the stub has to increase by 90 degrees.
