M. Norgren et S. He, OPTIMAL DESIGNS FOR NONUNIFORM LCRG TRANSMISSION-LINES, Journal of electromagnetic waves and applications, 10(8), 1996, pp. 1113-1127
The optimal design of a nonuniform LCRG line connecting a supply line
and a load is considered. An optimization method is used to achieve th
ree particular designs, namely, design of filters, design of impedance
matching sections, and design of impedance-matched voltage transforme
rs. By introducing two auxiliary functions, the gradient of the object
ive functional is found as an explicit expression. Numerical results s
how that satisfactory designs can be achieved by the present algorithm
.
