Passive RLC Networks*

References: - CMOS RF IC Design, Thomas Lee- Solid State Radio Engineering, Krau et al Wiley, 1980- Microwave Transistor Amplifier, Guillermo Gonzalez, Prentice Hall, 1997

RF circuits have a relatively large ratio of passive to active components.

Passive circuits are important for matching (which is important for efficient

power transfer). They can be used for boosting amplifier gain at high

frequencies. Furthermore, they are also used to filter unwanted signals.

* A significant part of these notes were provided by Dr. Sherif H. K. Embabi

3. Practical Parallel LC Network

Parallel RLC rarely exist in real life.A more realistic network is the LC tank.

Real inductors are lossy (even more that capacitors). That is why a series resistor is added to the inductor.

4. The Maximum Power Transfer Theorem

For a given fixed source impedance Zs, what Load impedance ZL maximizes the power delivered to the load?

~VS

sss XjRZ += LLL XjRZ +=

The power delivered to Load impedance is only due to RL (reactive elements do not dissipate power). Hence,

So if Q is selected the ratio is determined.

Since the transformation ratio is usually not vary large, Q must be relatively small.

(b) π-Matching

First the resistor Rp is downward transformed to RI , which is then upward transformed to Rin by the second L-Match

This way Q is decoupled from the transformation ratio.

121 T-Matching is suitable when the source and

termination parasitics are inductive, since they can be absorbed by network.

Similarly for the π-Matching it is more suitable for capacitive parasitics.

(i) Single-Tuned Transformer

A transformer with one side turned as shown below can be used for impedance matching. The additional advantages of a transformer are; isolation between input and output circuits, and can introduce reversal.

If Rt , R2 , fo , and B are given, a design procedure is required to design the transformer, i.e. L1 , L2 , M and k and the tuning capacitance C.

6. Transmission Lines (TL)

A real wire has distributed capacitance and inductance. When wire length becomes comparable to the wavelength, these distributed capacitances and inductances cannot be ignored. The wires are then transmission lines. Which if designed properly are entirely predictable and can be accounted for in the design.

Fundamentals:

Every increment of the TL contribute series inductance and shunt capacitance. The TL can be modeled by the ladder network shown below.

=Lδ Lδ Lδ Lδ Lδ

Cδ Cδ Cδ Cδ Cδ

Page 41: Elen665 PassiveRLC I Lect3

At RF the series and shunt resistance can be neglected in comparison to the reactances. (Series R is much smaller than , and shunt R is much larger than ).( )Lδω ( )Cδω1

Now consider an L-section of a TL which is loaded by an impedance Zo as shown.

If input impedance is required to be Zo , i.e. δZ = 0, then L must be equal to C2oZ

orCL

Zo =

This implies that if a TL, which has a “characteristic” impedance , is loaded by a Zo impedance (perfect termination) the input impedance remains to be equal to Zo.

Now assume a perfectly terminated TL as shown.

If a voltage V is applied to the input, what is the current?

Sine Zin = Zo , the current is:

oZV

I =

and the voltage drop across the inductor (δV) is:

xLj*ZV

Impedance Transformation using a TL

The wave propagating down the TL (in the +ve x-direction) is called “incident wave.” If the termination is not perfect , a “reflected wave” will be traveling back to the source (-vd x- direction). This will cause the input impedance to change.

Assume that some source produces an incident wave traveling to the load (e-jkx) and ZLcauses a reflected wave traveling in the opposite direction. At any point X, the voltage on the line is:
