Laboratory 2 Design of Impedance Transformers

The document describes the design of various impedance transformers for a frequency of 3.6GHz. It includes designing quarter wavelength transformers, binomial transformers, and Chebyshev transformers in ADS and then building and measuring them. It provides design requirements and specifications to plot for each transformer, including return loss, insertion loss, isolation, VSWR, and S-parameters. Formulas are given for calculating component values for the binomial and Chebyshev transformers.

Laboratory 2

Design of Impedance Transformers

In this laboratory, we will design impedance transformers of several types for our designated
frequency (3.6GHz), a quarter wavelength transformers, a broadband Binomial transformer, and
a Chebyshev transformer.

First design them on ADS, then build them and measure them using a Vector Network
Analyzer. It is critical that you thoroughly understand the concepts of s-parameters for this
laboratory. Keep in mind that in order for the modeling to be the most effective, all of the
parasitic effects must be included, such as step discontinuities, and any 50Ω line components on
our board.
Assume initially that the boards have the following properties:
Er=3.5
H=60 mils
T=0.7 mils

This could be change so be prepared to change.


Design Requirements: Part I

For 3.6 GHz designated frequency, design, build and measure, A 50 Ω transmission line having
an electrical length of 90 degrees

Plot the Insertion Loss, Return Loss, Isolation and the Return Loss at port 2. Plot also the
VSWR at port 1. Make all of these plots from 50 Mhz to three times designated frequency. Plot
the S11 and S22 on the Smith Chart from 50 Mhz to two times your designated frequency.
Place markers on all of your plots to show important performance specifications. Make an
additional set of all of the plots showing the modeled with the actual measurements.

Part II A.)

For you designated frequency, design, and build a Back to Back quarter wavelength transformer
that transforms 50 into 100.

i.e.

Zin=50Zin=50
Zin=100

B.) For this back to back transformer plot the following.

Plot the Insertion Loss, Return Loss, Isolation and the Return Loss at port 2. Plot also
VSWR at port 1. Plot the magnitude of S11. Make all of these plots from 50 Mhz to three
times your designated frequency. Measure and plot the S11 on the smith chart from
50Mhz to two times your designated frequency. Place markers on all of your plots to
show important performance specifications. Make an additional set of all of the plots
showing the modeled with the actual measurements.

B.) For this back to back transformer,

 Plot the Insertion Loss, Return Loss, Isolation and the Return Loss at port 2. Plot also
VSWR at port 1.
 Plot the magnitude of S11.
 Make all of these plots from 50 Mhz to three times your designated frequency. Measure
and plot the S11 on the smith chart from 50 MHz to two times your designated
frequency.
 Place markers on all of your plots to show important performance
specifications. Make an additional set of all of the plots showing the
modeled with the actual measurements.
Solution:
From equation Δf/f0 = 2- (4 θm /π)
Θm = 60.75 Degree
Again, from equation, ґ m=2 N
│A│ CosN θm
N = 2.96
Therefore N=3
At last using the equation ln(Zn+1 / Zn) = 2-N CNn ln(ZL/ Zo)
ln(Z1) = 3.9986 => Z1=54.525
ln(Z2) = 4.25859 => Z2= 70.71
ln(Z3) = 4.5185 => Z3= 91.7

PartIV A.) For you designated frequency, design, and build A Back to Back Chebyshev
transformer that transforms 50 into 100 that has the same number of sections as your
binomial transformer

Ґo= (ZL – Zo)/ (ZL + Zo)

Ґm= A= 0.04 m
Θm = 47.70030

From Ґn= (1/2) * ln(Zn+1 /Zn)

Ґo = Ґ3 = 0.06561

Ґ1 = Ґ2 = 0.107677
Z1= 57.011
