Abstract:
In one embodiment, a radio frequency (RF) impedance matching network includes electronically variable capacitors (EVCs), each EVC including discrete capacitors operably coupled in parallel. The discrete capacitors include fine capacitors each having a capacitance value substantially similar to a fine capacitance value, and coarse capacitors each having a capacitance value substantially similar to a coarse capacitance value. The increase of the variable total capacitance of each EVC is achieved by switching in more of the coarse capacitors or more of the fine capacitors than are already switched in without switching out a coarse capacitor that is already switched in.
