Iyer, S.N. Makarov, D.D. Harty, F. Nekoogar, and R. Ludwig, in the IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation, Vol. 58, Issue 1, January 2010, pp. 18-26<br><br> <br/> In this paper, a new technique for wideband impedance matching of short dipole antennas in the VHF-UHF bands is proposed. A simple network of one fixed topology is proposed instead of constructing the network topology for every particular antenna. This network is an inductive L-section cascaded with high-pass T-section. The network includes five discrete components-three inductors and two capacitors. This paper proves that matching with the present network is close to the theoretical limit impedance matching confirmed by Bode- Fano theory. The matching is performed for different dipole shapes. By using the matching circuit of fixed topology we avoid greater difficulties related to the practical realization of the Carlin's equalizer. The key point is to minimize the antenna's matching network complexity (and loss) so that the circuit can be designed and constructed in a straight forward manner.
