Abstract
Impedance matching of a loaded microstrip transmission line is performed by using only parasitic elements. By the term “parasitic” matching element we mean that there is no physical connection between the conductors of the matching subsystem and the conductors of the main circuit. We construct a so‐called λ/4 parasitic transformer by adding a dielectric brick above the microstrip line, and another conducting strip above the brick. It is shown that a very good matching performance is achieved with the λ/4 parasitic transformer. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

## Abstract A new design method for a tapered impedance‐matching line is proposed. The accurate characteristic impedance profile of the desired matching line is obtained through the accurate profile inversion of a virtual dielectric medium which is equivalent to the matching line in view of the ref
## Abstract In this paper, we study the size effects of an H‐shaped defected ground structure (DGS) cell upon the characteristic impedance of a microstrip line, by using a simple circuit‐analysis method. An LC model of an equivalent circuit can represent the proposed H‐shaped DGS cell. It is found
In this work, a hybrid approach for the synthesis of lossy transmission-line impedance-matching sections is presented. The hybrid algorithm is based on a genetic algorithm and controlled random search algorithm. The hybrid algorithm gi¨es better design than the genetic algorithm.
