A method and an apparatus are provided for impedance matching using an
analog circuit. The method comprises providing the analog circuit to
substantially match a start impedance to an end impedance and tuning a
performance parameter of an associated circuit using the analog circuit
operating at a high power level. The analog circuit may transform the
start impedance to the end impedance using a characteristic impedance in
a range above the start impedance and the end impedance. By reconfiguring
the analog circuit, the associated circuit may operate at one of a first,
second, or higher order frequency bands. By using a matching
transformation process, reconfigurable matching circuits for medium
and/or high power applications may be provided by using available lower
power reconfiguration elements. In the matching transformation process,
the intermediate impedance at which the reconfiguration is performed is
higher than the matching processes used for lower power reconfiguration
elements. A relatively smaller and cheaper reconfiguration element having
lower parasitics may be used.
