Impedance compensation system with microstrip and slotline coupling and controllable capacitance
Abstract:
Embodiments of a circuit, system, and method are disclosed. In an embodiment, a circuit includes a first microstrip transmission line, a second microstrip transmission line, and a slotline formation, wherein the slotline formation extends between the first microstrip transmission line and the second microstrip transmission line so that the slotline formation is configured to electromagnetically couple the first microstrip transmission line to the second microstrip transmission line during operation of the circuit. In addition, the circuit includes at least one controllable capacitance circuit electrically connected to at least one of the first microstrip transmission line and the second microstrip transmission line, wherein a magnitude of capacitance of the at least one controllable capacitance circuit is controllable (e.g., in response to a capacitance control signal received at a control interface).
