Pete N6QW Looks at Tapped Capacitance Impedance Matching

For some reason we are more accustomed to impedance matching using tapped coils than we are with the use of tapped capacitors. This is too bad because tapped capacitors are a very useful impedance matching tool. Pete recently looked at this technique. Check it out:

  1. I suspect the reason to be down to economics. Cap taps require 50% more parts (3 vs 2) so they cost more. Also, the layout requires more board space, which costs more.
