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 ) and 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 (tft027) one version of matching network ( scheme 1 ).
2. Theoretical matching
The unbalanced driven source and load termination impedances based on measured values of test fixture
( PCB – tft027, Q-value of matching elements is equal 30 ) for Scheme 1 are :

The values of the matching elements, which are given below, are calculated from the impedance for input
and output ( pin 6 ) on test fixture for different Q-value of the matching elements. If the values of the
matching elements are not equal to standard values, the best standard values are given in brackets.
The calculation was made with and without consideration of parasitics capacities : C
