Stub In microwave and radio-frequency engineering‚ a stub is a length of transmission line or waveguide that is connected at one end only. The free end of the stub is either left open-circuit or (especially in the case of waveguides) short-circuited. Neglecting transmission line losses‚ the input impedance of the stub is purely reactive; either capacitive or inductive‚ depending on the electrical length of the stub‚ and on whether it is open or short circuit. Stubs may thus be considered to be

Double stub impedance matching Impedance matching can be achieved by inserting two stubs at specified locations along transmission line as shown below There are two design parameters for double stub matching: The length of the first stub line Lstub1 The length of the second stub line Lstub2 In the double stub configuration‚ the stubs are inserted at predetermined locations. In this way‚ if the load impedance is changed‚ one simply has to replace the stubs with another set of different
