Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of transmission line driving circuits, in particular to a transmission line driving circuit for adaptively correcting impedance matching. Background technique [0002] In order to transmit signals and energy efficiently, ideally, the output circuit and the input circuit should work in an impedance matching state. That is, the internal resistance of the output circuit should be equal to the input impedance of the output circuit, and the output impedance of the output circuit should be equal to the impedance of the input circuit (also called load). Maximum power transfer is achieved when the impedances of both the output and input circuits match each other. On the contrary, when the impedances of the output circuit and the input circuit do not match, not only the maximum power transmission cannot be obtained, but also the circuit may be damaged. [0003] For example, when the impedances of the output circuit...

Problems solved by technology

Conversely, when the impedances of the output circuit and the input circuit do not match, not only will the maximum power transmission not be obtained, but the circuit may also be damaged.

[0003] For example, when the impedance of the output circuit and the input circuit do not match, the differential output current of the output circuit will be asymmetrical, which will lead to the problem of electromagnetic interference (EMI)

In addition, when the impedance of the output circuit and the input circuit do not match, the return loss (Return Loss) of the system will also increase.
