Abstract
Herein, a non-Foster matching circuit is designed to improve the impedance matching characteristics of small antennas in the VHF and UHF bands. The proposed non-Foster circuit is designed to operate with negative capacitance in a wide frequency band from 50 MHz to 1,000 MHz for use in various communication bands. To ensure the stability of the non-Foster circuit with conditional stability, the open-circuit stability condition of Linvill was satisfied, and the circuit was fabricated using the FR-4 substrate. The fabricated non-Foster circuit was combined with a small antenna to verify its performance by measuring the return loss and received power in the FM, DMB, and GSM bands. The measured return loss was improved from −6 dB to −30 dB, and the measured received power was improved from 0.5 dBm to 5.2 dBm.
