Abstract
Abstract A matching circuit for a pre-amplifier of an SHF band television signal receiver is disclosed. The matching circuit comprises a stub line arranged near a gate terminal of an FET, and a pair of stub lines connected to a transmission line, one being a stub line exhibiting a short circuit impedance at a lower frequency than operating frequencies of the matching circuit and the other being a stub line arranged oppositely to the stub line and exhibiting a short circuit at a higher frequency than the operating frequencies. A distance between the stub line and the pair of stub lines is selected to be approximately equal to 1/4 wavelength of a center frequency of the desired signal band.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
229 words
A matching circuit for a pre-amplifier of an SHF band television signal receiver, the operating frequency band of said matching circuit including a first, a second, and a third frequency, said first frequency being lower than said third frequency, said second frequency being substantially the center between said first and third frequencies, said matching circuit comprising: (a) impedance matching means connected to a terminal of an amplifying device of said pre-amplifier; (b) a transmission line connected to said impedance matching means, said transmission line being arranged oppositely to said amplifying device; and (c) a first and a second stub line connected to said transmission line and spaced from said impedance matching means by a distance approximately equal to (2n-1)/4 wavelength (n=1,2,3, . . . ) of a wave of said second frequency, said first and second stub lines being arranged oppositely to each other with respect to said transmission line, said first stub line having a length selected so as to present an inductive impedance in said operating frequency band of said matching circuit and present substantially a short circuit at an image frequency of said second frequency, said second stub line having a length selected so as to present a capacitive impedance in said operating frequency band of said matching circuit and present an admittance which cancels an admittance of said first stub line at said second frequency.
