1. General
The filter is driven in an unbalanced way. It is matched to
50
The matching element values given below are theoretical calculations based on measured values for
termination impedance of test fixture (Q-value of matching elements is equal 30 ), given in the
specification and S-parameters of the filters on PCB. If there are parasitics on the customer PCB, the
matching elements have to be optimised regarding the circuit and PCB design.
We have tested on the PCB (tft031) two different versions of matching network (scheme 1 and scheme 2).
2. Theoretical matching
The unbalanced driven source and load termination impedances based on measured values of test fixture
(Q-value of matching elements is equal 30 ), given in the specification of the filter for Scheme 1 are :

2.1 Scheme 1.
The values of the matching elements, which are given below, are calculated from the source and load
impedance on test fixture for different Q-value of the matching elements.
The calculation was made without consideration of parasitics.

The values of the matching elements, which are given below, are calculated with consideration of the
different Q-values of the matching elements and based on measured S-parameters of the filter TFS 224A.
We shall not take over any guarantee for achieving the typical and limit values of the specification
parameters as long as termination impedance differs from the stated above.
Based on measured S-parameters we calculated the following theoretical matching components
