Abstract

A method for impedance matching using an impedance matching network is provided. The impedance matching network includes an input, an output, and at least two matching stages connected in series, each matching stage having a respective variable reactance. The method includes a) measuring an input impedance at the input, b) determining an intermediate impedance occurring between the two matching stages from the input impedance and at least one present state value of at least one of two matching stages, c) determining an alteration target value for at least one of the variable reactances of the two matching stages from the intermediate impedance and a model of the impedance matching network, d) altering a state of at least one of the two matching stages based on the alteration target value, and e) repeating steps a) to d).
