Abstract
An apparatus and system may include a microstrip line capable of being coupled to an amplifier, wherein the microstrip line is to transform an input impedance of the amplifier to a substantially resistive value, and wherein the microstrip line has a characteristic impedance approximately equal to a selected system reference impedance. The apparatus and system may include a transformer coupled to the microstrip line, wherein the transformer is to transform the substantially resistive value into approximately a resistance of a source impedance included in a source. An article may include data, which, when accessed, results in a machine performing a method including simulating selecting a system having a reference impedance and simulating coupling an amplifier having an input impedance to a source having a source impedance using a transformer coupled to a microstrip line.
