becomes critical due to the low impedance levels and high
RF currents associated with the output matching. Some of
the components, such as capacitors and inductors must
also withstand these currents. The component losses are
directly proportional to the operating frequency. The manu-

the impedance levels are higher for a given power output.
High power broadband transformers are also easier to de-
sign than comparable LC matching networks.
