MULTIPLE-OUTPUT TUNABLE IMPEDANCE MATCHING NETWORKS

Described is a multi-output tunable matching networks (MOTMN) that can transfer energy from a single input to multiple outputs with varying load impedances coupled thereto while controlling one or more of: (1) an impedance (Z) seen at the input of the MOTMN; (2) a distribution of rf power to the multiple outputs of the MOTMN; and (3) phases (including relative phases) of rf signals propagating through the MOTMN.
