Abstract

See full text

A system and a method for on-chip impedance matching, of at least two ports: an output source and an input load. The system includes an on-chip integrated impedance matching circuit (IMC) that comprises: at least one variable capacitor; a control unit that enables tuning of the variable capacitor, receiving and transmitting of signals and processing of signals; and at least one peak detector that enables detection of signal peaks (SP). Control unit enables determining of a substantially optimal signal peak and tuning of the variable capacitor to a substantially optimal capacitance that is corresponding to the said optimal signal peak. The highest signal peak provides the substantially optimal impedance matching between the ports.
