Available Power from a Source

 Maximum power we can extract from source


(given fixed source impedance)
 But we know conjugate matching is the best
power extraction scheme:

How To Obtain Maximum Power Gain

 Now that we know power is important how


can we obtain the maximum power gain
– Power Gain Metrics
– Similarity to maximum power transfer
theorem

Power Gain

 We can define power gain in many


different ways. The power gain or
operating power gain Gp is defined:

 We note that this power gain is a


function of the load admittance YL and
the two-port parameters Yij. 6

Available and Transducer Power Gains

Available Power Gain:

Transducer Power Gain:

 Four variables: PL, Pin, Pav,s, Pav,L


 What is the relationship between these three power
gains? Can they be equal? Under what conditions?
7

Derivation of Available Power Gain

 The source and the two-port together form a “source”.


What is the available power from this source?
 Norton equivalent circuit:
1- Short the outputs  Derive Ieq
–
2- “Remove” the source, look at the output admittance (this
was derived in the last lecture):

Deriving Available Power Gain:

Transducer Power Gain (GT)


 How much better are we doing than just a matched
load?
 As expected is a function of both load and source
impedances
 How much power we actually deliver to our load/
Maximum power our source could provide

Transducer Power Gain (2)

 But we know:

 and therefore:

 The Transducer Power Gain:

Comparison of Power Gains

 It’s interesting to note that all of the gain expression we


have derived are in the exact same form for the
impedance, hybrid, and inverse hybrid matrices.
 In general, PL ≤ Pav,L, with equality for a matched load.
Thus we can say that
– GT ≤ Ga
 The maximum transducer gain as a function of the load
impedance thus occurs when the load is conjugately
matched to the two-port output impedance

Comparison of Power Gains (2)

 Likewise, since Pin ≤ Pav,S, again with equality


when the the two-port is conjugately matched to
the source, we have
– GT ≤ Gp
 The transducer gain is maximized with respect
to the source when

13

Maximum Power Gain

 Intuitively observed that we need input and output match


for best power transfer (Bi-Conjugate Match)

 The rigorous proof starts with:

 To simplify we can look at Gp and Ga separately

Maximum Power Gain Derivation

 Refer to Prof. Niknejad’s book chapter for derivation

We’ve seen this


Requires that: condition before

15

Maximum Power Gain of a Unilateral Two-Port

 Sometimes called the Maximum Available Gain


or MAG for a two-port
For a non-unilateral two-port with K<1 MSG
(Maximum Stable Gain) is defined as Gmax
with K=1:

Why Match?

 Maximum Power transfer


 Reduce reflections, re-radiation, voltage
“nulls”…
 Non-impedance controlled environment
(50 Ohm setting)
 Noise and Efficiency require optimal loads

Capacitive/Inductive Dividers

 Loss-less network Current also scales:

 We can also derive this using Series-Parallel


transformation 19

L-Match

 We can step-up or step-down the impedance by using


series-shunt or shunt-series networks (L-Match)

Matching Network Design

1. Calculate the boosting factor


2. Compute the required circuit Q by
(1 + Q2) = m, or 1.
3. Pick the required reactance from the Q. If you’re
boosting the resistance, e.g. RS >RL, then Xs = Q · RL.
If you’re dropping the resistance, Xp = RL / Q
4. Compute the effective resonating reactance. If RS >RL,
calculate X’s = Xs(1 + Q−2) and set the shunt reactance
in order to resonate, Xp = −X’s. If RS < RL, then
calculate X’p = Xp/(1+Q−2) and set the series reactance
in order to resonate, Xs = −X’p.
5. For a given frequency of operation, pick the value of L
and C to satisfy these equations.
21

Complex Source/ Load

 First “absorb” the extra reactance/ susceptance


 We can then move forward according to previous
guidelines

Effective Added Inductance

 There might be multiple ways of achieving matching,


each will have different properties in terms of BW (Q),
DC connection for biasing, High-pass vs Low-Pass,…

Multi-Stage Matching Networks

1. Cascaded L-Match
– Wide bandwidth
– Only in one direction

 T-Match
– First transform high then
low
– BW is lower than single L-
Match

 Pi-Match
– First low then high
– BW is lower than single L-
match
