Refer to the network configuration of Figure 10.1 where the source is represented either by its Thévenin equivalent or by its Norton equivalent. The load impedance z2(s) is assumed to be strictly passive over a frequency band of interest, because the matching problem cannot be meaningfully defined if the load is purely reactive. Our objective is to design an ‘‘optimum’’ lossless two-port network or equalizer N to match out the load impedance z2(s) to the resistive source impedance z1(s)¼R1, and to achieve a preassigned transducer power-gain characteristic G(v2) over the entire sinusoidal frequency spectrum.
