I am trying to get a better grip on impedance matching, especially active impedance matching and have run into some issues. So, here are are some questions for the gurus here.
For audio circuit impedance matching, the optimum power at perfect match is 50%. What is the corresponding value for general communications circuit ?
My understanding is that to measure the optimum power, one would measure the current(RMS) and voltage(RMS) going into the matching circuit, and correspondingly, measure both current(RMS) and voltage(RMS) going into the load. Is this correct ?
Given that the general expression for impedance matching is Zs = Zl*, there is obviously the frequency dependency of the source and load impedances, so is it possible to have a impedance matching circuit that will work for a huge range (e.gg., 5 KHz to 5 GHz) ? Or is frequency matching device applicable to a frequency band (analogous to a band pass filter)
All hints/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
