Design Philosophy of Distributed Matching Network for Triode Amplifiers Reactance provided by the tube capacitance Xc = j Zo tan (2/) L The length 'L' of the tuned co-axial line is given by: L = /2 tan-1 Xc / Zo Where = wavelength in cm Xc = reactance due to the inter-electrode capacitance Zo = characteristic impedance of the line (ohm) The 50 ohm matching point to tap-out the output power is given by: L2 = /2Ri/Rg . [Xc/(Xc2 + Zo2)1/2] cm Where L2 = distance from the short circuited end to the matching point. Ri = Output resistance (50 ohm in this case) Rg = grid resistance in ohms. Co-axial structure with centre conductor having circular cross-section and outer conductor of rectangular cross section are commonly used.
