Understanding RF Port Impedance Verification

Well-matched RF ports are a crucial aspect to any RF system. Matched ports, for example, protect amplifier output ports from reflected power overload. Matched ports also maximize power transmission, effectively extending the battery life of wireless products such as those made for the internet of things (IoT). This white paper covers the importance of having all components matched to the same impedance value and how to easily and cost-effectively verify RF ports.
