High-power tunable matching circuit using SOI-CMOS digitally programmable capacitor array for 4G mobile handsets

The design methodology for high power tunable matching circuit employing a SOICMOS based digitally programmable capacitor array is proposed. The power loss and matching performances of the antenna in combination with designed TMC network are greatly improved compared to the antennal only.
