BROADBAND MATCHING NETWORK

摘要

A broadband matching network (220) closely matches the output impedance of a broadband amplifier to the input impedance of a laser over a broad frequency band to facilitate efficient transfer of power therebetween. As a result, the broadband amplifier does not have to generate high output power levels that cause intermodulation distortion. The matching network includes a pair of matching transformers having toroidal cores (510) and a filter circuit (430, 435, 420, 425, 440 and 445).
