Abstract:
A transmission line impedance matching apparatus for a transmission line having two conductors to be connected between a first terminal apparatus and a second terminal apparatus comprising:a termination corrector located adjacent one of the first or second terminal apparatus having a common mode choke and an impedance matching device,the common mode choke comprising a series transformer having a first winding and a second winding wound in the same direction, the two windings located between the terminal apparatus and the impedance matching device with the first winding being connected to one of the two conductors and the second winding being connected to the other of the two conductors;the impedance matching device comprising a shunt transformer having a first winding and a second winding wound in the same direction and each with a signal terminal and a ground terminal, the first winding having the signal terminal connected through a capacitance to one of the two conductors and the second winding having the signal terminal connected through a capacitance to the other of the two conductors, the ground terminals of both windings connected through a resistor to a circuit ground.
