Apollonius unilateral transducer constant power gain circles on 3D Smith charts
نویسندگان
چکیده
ELECT Unilateral transducer constant power gain circles play an essential role in the design of radio-frequency amplifiers and active modulators, as they help to determine optimal impedance matching conditions to meet gain and stability specifications. It is shown that these gain circles are a subfamily of Apollonius circles. For better visualisation, unilateral transducer constant gain power circles have been plotted for the first time on the three-dimensional (3D) Smith chart. To this end, a natural relationship from an inversive geometry was required, in order to relate the gain circles with cutting planes for the 3D Smith chart.

Apollonius tenth problem via radius adjustment and Möbius transformations
The Apollonius Tenth Problem, as defined by Apollonius of Perga circa 200 B.C., has been useful for various applications in addition to its theoretical interest. Even though particular cases have been handled previously, a general framework for the problem has never been reported. Presented in this paper is a theory to handle the Apollonius Tenth Problem by characterizing the spatial relationsh...
متن کاملOn Three Circles
Abstract. The classical Three-Circle Problem of Apollonius requires the construction of a fourth circle tangent to three given circles in the Euclidean plane. For circles in general position this may admit as many as eight solutions or even no solutions at all. Clearly, an “experimental” approach is unlikely to solve the problem, but, surprisingly, it leads to a more general theorem. Here we co...
متن کاملA TAXICAB VERSION OF A TRIANGLE' S APOLLONIUS CIRCLE
One of the most famous problems of classical geometry is the Apollonius' problem asks construction of a circle which is tangent to three given objects. These objects are usually taken as points, lines, and circles. This well known problem was posed by Apollonius of Perga ( about 262 - 190 B.C.) who was a Greek mathematician known as the great geometer of ancient times after Euclid and Archimede...

Conjugately characteristic-impedance transmission lines (CCITLs) are a class of transmission lines possessing conjugately characteristic impedances (Z± 0 ) for waves propagating in the opposite direction. A typical Z0 uniform transmission line is a special case of CCITLs whose argument of Z± 0 is equal to 0 ◦. This paper aims to generalize the CCITL system by demonstrating a theoretical study o...
متن کاملAnother Solution of Apollonius Tenth Problem
We provide a new solution for the famous Apollonius Tenth Problem. The problem is to construct a circle tangent to three given circles in the plane. An equivalence between analytical and geometric approaches to the solution is explored. A new analytical solution for the problem is presented and a step by step geometrical interpretation of this solution is provided. We show that this interpretat...
