Abstract

A simple and accurate CAD technique for the synthesis of wideband printed transmission line transformers (TLTs) is being presented in this article using an evolutionary technique, namely, particle swarm optimisation ( PSO ). The design procedure is formulated as a global non-linear optimisation problem by defining a suitable cost function. The proposed theory has been validated with commercial circuit simulator Agilent's Advanced Design System software and compared with few measured results.
