#244 In this video I look at a wider bandwidth implementation of the quarter wavelength impedance transformer - the stepped impedance transmission-line transformer. In essence its a series of multiple quarter wavelength transformers, one is series with the other, which brings a very interesting propriety - the total bandwidth increases.
Impedance matching series:
Resistive matching: youtu.be/raw_LAJGvAE
Lossless matching part 1: youtu.be/-_T587mucaI
Lossless matching part 2: youtu.be/cXPJgnmpCrw
Transformer matching part1: youtu.be/cW1Qn0DQwJM
Transformer matching part2: youtu.be/-cG8Q1Mgrtc
Transformer matching part3: youtu.be/-7tXl7y7Ydo
Quarter wavelength matching part1: youtu.be/ie0eBuPohHs
Quarter wavelength matching part2: youtu.be/KLNK935wglA
Stub matching: youtu.be/AbQn6H4j6I0
Stepped impedance transformer: youtu.be/CB322meXvek
