Abstract

See full text

A method for optimizing impedance of a connecting element between a first component and a second component of a high-frequency apparatus. The first component and the second component have at least two level states, wherein the connecting element has an input impedance and an output impedance. The first component has respective impedances in each of the at least two level states, wherein the second component has respective impedances in each of the at least two level states. The method comprising the steps as follows: determining a respective magnitude of a difference of the first component between the complex conjugated input impedance and a respective impedance of the first component, determining a respective magnitude of a difference of the second component between the complex conjugated output impedance and a respective impedance of the second component, and simultaneously minimizing the respective magnitudes of the first component and second component relative to the in- and output impedances of the connecting element.
