Abstract

In this paper, two-section impedance transformer network (TSITN) is modeled and used for power amplifiers applications. The artificial neural network (ANN) is used to propose an appropriate model for TSITN. The proposed model could predict the desired input and output impedances at desired frequencies using TSITN dimensions, which could be suitable for input and output matching network of a power amplifier. Using two-section impedance transformer network instead of conventional impedance transformer network (ITN) could miniaturize the input and output matching network size.
