A novel iterative method for simultaneously conjugate matching of N‐port networks

In this paper, a novel iterative method is proposed to find the matching impedances for all‐port simultaneously conjugate matching of N‐port networks. This method takes advantages of the reciprocal and lossless features of the matching network, which leads to the unitary and symmetric properties of its S matrix. As a result, the computing complexity of this proposed method is analyzed and proved to be very efficiently reduced compared to previously reported methods. A two‐port network, two three‐port networks, a ten‐port network, and a four‐port 2 × 2 antenna array are presented to demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed method.
