AUTOMATED SYNTHESIS OF BROADBAND MATCHING AND FILTERING DEVICES

When designing radioelectronic devices, that are included in the composition of various systems, it is important to solve broadband matching problem and filtering problem. However, usually these problems are separated and not considered together. Moreover, the synthesis of filters does not take into account the behavior of impedances of the generator and the load in the stopbands. The solution of the complex problem is actual, since it allows expanding the functionality of the device, which can greatly simplify the construction of the radio engineering product. It should be noted that in the known literature solution of this problem in such a formulation is not considered. The aim of the work is to develop a synthesis method and algorithm of broadband devices that connect arbitrary immitances of the generator and the load, and these devices should perform simultaneously functions of both matching and filtering in reactive lumped electric element base and in distributed electric element base, limited only by transmission lines with T-waves. In this paper, a two-stage automated method of synthesis presented here stage allows at the first to adequately find a good initial solution to the posed problem (determining structure and parameters of the broadband matching and filtering quadrupole), in the second stage this approach allows to find the optimal solution to the complex problem, taking into account the constraints on physical and circuit realizability. In this work, the synthesis of broadband matching and filtering devices in lumped and distributed electrical element basis is carried out, and these devices connect complex impedances of the source and the load. The characteristics of the devices obtained after the synthesis show that the solution of the complex problem of matching and filtering gives a significant improvement in filtering properties with small losses in the level of transmitted power.
