APPARATUSES AND METHODS INVOLVING FREQUENCY-TUNING MATCHING NETWORK
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18747897 titled 'APPARATUSES AND METHODS INVOLVING FREQUENCY-TUNING MATCHING NETWORK
Original Abstract Submitted
In certain examples, methods and semiconductor structures involve use of or are directed to a circuit-based apparatus comprising a matching network, including a variable-resistance-matching network, to impedance match a variable load impedance with a fixed source impedance in response to one or more frequencies being varied in a signal of an amplification or source circuit that provides the fixed source impedance. Optionally, the matching network includes: load circuitry to manifest the variable load impedance; and/or a reactance-neutralization network, with the variable-resistance-matching network and the reactance-neutralization network being cooperatively configured to provide impedance matching, between the amplification or source circuit and the load circuitry (e.g., without relying on operation of adjustable passive components or of semiconductor switches).
