Genesys Match Synthesis

Genesys Match is one of the most sought after synthesis capabilities in Genesys. It enables RF designers to effortlessly replace the routine but time consuming task of designing impedance matching networks in nearly all RF and microwave component and test applications. Comprehensively built in synthesis, mathematical algorithms create impedance matching networks for challenging single and multi-stage applications. It is especially valuable for matching difficult impedances, frequency-dependent loads, non-unilateral devices, and matching over a wider bandwidth with lumped and distributed components. It improves the productivity of RF engineers and technicians of every skill level.

If you use a Smith Chart, you need Genesys Match

It all starts with the Smith Chart. A reflection coefficient plotted on a Smith Chart is the most recognizable measurement of the RF community, because it indicates something about power transfer. Impedance matching minimizes reflections, which maximizes power transfer, and therefore system performance. Therefore, creating impedance matching networks is one of the most common tasks of the RF engineer. Every RF designer who uses a Smith Chart will benefit and enjoy using Genesys Match, regardless of experience or skill.

Genesys Match is an indispensable productivity tool

Genesys Match starts with an input specification of a frequency-dependent device, and the frequency-dependent complex terminations on either side of that device. The device may be a raw S-parameter file, a stabilized nonlinear device with a bias network and feedback, or a complex Genesys subcircuit. The terminations may be chosen from complex frequency-dependent S-parameter data, one of 9 RLCX combinations, or simply 50 ohms. Genesys Match then synthesizes one of 8 lumped or distributed topologies for each of the matching networks in between the terminations and devices to achieve the best power transfer over the specified frequency range.
