Abstract
A multicomponent network may be added to a transmission line in a high-frequency circuit to transform a first impedance of a downstream circuit element to second impedance that better matches the impedance of an upstream circuit element. The multicomponent network may be added at a distance more than one-quarter wavelength from the downstream circuit element, and can tighten a frequency response of the impedance-transforming circuit to maintain low Q values and low VSWR values over a broad range of frequencies.
