Abstract
A technique for achieving impedance transformations utilizing transmission lines has been provided. This technique involves placing additional distributed capacitance along the length of a transmission line thereby reducing the effective characteristic impedance of the transmission line. The effective wavelength for the transmission line is also reduced thereby substantially reducing the electrical length of a quarter wavelength matching network and making the transmission line practical and effective even at low frequencies.
