Description

This repository implements calculations for four-element power matching LC-baluns to accompany the research article "Four-Element LC-Baluns for Power Matching Arbitrary Impedances" by Rasmus Jepsen, Jan Henrik Ardenkjær-Larsen, and Vitaliy Zhurbenko (submitted). These four-element networks provide common-mode rejection in addition to power matching for arbitrary complex impedances at the design frequency. See the README.md file at the root of the repository for more information.
