Abstract

An impedance transformer is so designed that the impedance and the reactance of a tuning part reach zero at a central control voltage. An open stub is employed for setting the characteristic impedance of a tuning stub to the minimum value when a variable reactance circuit is inductive while setting the characteristic impedance to −1.22 times the reactance of the variable reactance circuit when the variable reactance circuit is capacitive. A short stub is employed for setting the characteristic impedance of the tuning stub to 0.82 times the reactance of the variable reactance circuit when the variable reactance is inductive, while setting the characteristic impedance to the maximum when the variable reactance circuit is capacitive.
