DISCONTINUITIES IN MICROWAVE CIRCUITS
Designing high-frequency microwave circuits and, with increasing frequency, millimeter-wave frequencies require for the most part laying out carefully conceived transmission lines to carry  those high-frequency signals across a  printed circuit board (PCB) 
PCB with high-frequency transmission lines must manage any number of circuit discontinuities and junctions as part of that design these are those locations where signals must pass some change in the transmission-line path, such as a transition in the width of a transmission line, a gap between sections of transmission line, even an abrupt change in direction for the transmission line
 
A discontinuity will introduce a shift in impedance, it is hoped that the PCB substrate will provide the most stable basis for a circuit design's target impedance, usually 50 ..

IMPEDANCE MATCHING
  • An impedance vector consists of a real part (resistance, R) and an imaginary part (reactance, X).
  • Impedance can be expressed using the rectangular coordinate form: Z = R jX
 
1. Impedance Matching using Resistor Networks
  • Using a resistive network can match simultaneous input and output, but create more loss
 
2. Impedance Matching using Quarter-Wave (λ/4) Transmission Lines
  • A quarter-wave impedance transformer is a component used in RF engineering consisting of a length of transmission line one quarter of a wavelength (λ/4) long and terminated in some known impedance ZL
  • The characteristic impedance of the quarter-wave line is the geometric average of Zin and ZL
  • A quarter-wave /4 transformer provides a perfect match at only one frequency
  • A broadband design may be obtained by a cascade of λ/4 line sections of gradually varying their characteristic impedance

3. Impedance Matching using Stub
  • The shorted stub can be constructed which can produce reactance of any value. This can act as impedance matching device which cancels reactive part of complex impedance.
  • Stubs can be used to match a load impedance to the transmission line characteristic impedance.
  • The stub is positioned a distance from the load. This distance is chosen so that at that point the resistive part of the load impedance is made equal to the resistive part of the characteristic impedance by impedance transformer action of the length of the main line

4. Impedance Matching Using Pi-Network
  • The basic π-network's primary application is to match a high impedance source to lower value to load impedance. It can also be used in reverse to match a low impedance to a higher impedance
 
5. Impedance Matching Using L-Network
  • The T-match impedance matching circuit is one of the circuits used to match the impedance between two points,  sually a source and a load. The circuit got its name because the inductor and the capacitor form a T-shape
