A method of selecting component values for an analog circuit includes
identifying a cost function that evaluates similarity between an
approximate frequency response function and a preferred frequency
response function for at least one characteristic of the functions,
determining the approximate frequency response function of the analog
circuit based on an approximate component value, and changing the
approximate component value based on a determined magnitude of similarity
between the preferred frequency response function and the approximate
frequency response function for the at least one characteristic. An
impedance matching apparatus includes a mismatch detection circuit that
produces a difference between source and load impedances, a match network
controller that produces a control value based on the difference, and a
reconfigurable varactor match network including at least one stub mounted
varactor having a capacitance controlled by the control value to match
the source and load impedances.
