Impedance matching in RF circuits prevents signal reflections, maximizes power transfer, and maintains efficiency. A mismatch causes standing waves, signal distortion, and reduced transmission quality.
It also leads to power loss, excessive heat dissipation, and potential damage to components like RF amplifiers. Poor matching can narrow bandwidth and introduce noise, affecting overall performance.
Engineers use matching networks, quarter-wave transformers, and proper PCB design to ensure efficient power transfer and signal integrity.
