1) The document describes the design principle for an N-section binomial transformer, which aims to achieve a frequency response that is as flat as possible near the design frequency. 2) The characteristic impedance of each section can be found recursively using equations that relate the impedance of one section to those before it. 3) The bandwidth of a binomial transformer is determined by the number of sections N, with more sections leading to a wider bandwidth.

Lect 16: Binomial Multisection Matching Transformer


Feature: The frequency response is as flat as possiblenear the
design frequency determined by =l = /2. This type of
transformers are also known as maximally flat.
