Abstract
In one embodiment, the present disclosure is directed to a method for impedance matching. A matching network includes first and second reactance elements configured to provide variable positions. A first parameter of the matching network is determined based on a detected value. The method determines first two-port parameters from a first one-dimensional array that corresponds to a first portion of the matching network using the first reactance element position, and second two-port parameters from a second one-dimensional array that corresponds to a second portion of the matching network using the second reactance element position. An output parameter is calculated based on the first parameter, the first two-port parameters, and the second two-port parameters. New first and second reactance element positions are determined from a match position table using the calculated output parameter. The method then alters the reactance elements accordingly to reduce a reflected power.
