Pi Network Impedance Matching |
A Iossless network consisting of two capacitors and an inductor in a Pi configuration is often used to match between two resistive impedances Z1 and Z2.
See sketch.
Given the values of Z1 and Z2 (Z1 > Z2) the frequency f, and the desired circuit Q, the values of C1, C2, and L can be found from the following formulas:
|
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

|
Note: Z1, Z2, and Q must be chosen so that:
![]() ![]() ![]() |
(![]() |
Q2 + 1 |
![]() ![]() |
1> 1 | |
![]() ![]() ![]() |
Example:
Z1 | = | 500 Ω (Input impedance) |
Z2 | = | 50 Ω (Output impedance) |
f | = | 4 MHz |
Q | = | 10 |
