Ahmed Radwan, et al., "Impedance matching through a single passive fractional element." In Proceedings of the 2012 IEEE International Symposium on Antennas and Propagation, 2012, 1. For the first time, a generalized admittance Smith chart theory is introduced to represent fractional order circuit elements. The principles of fractional order matching circuits are described. We show that for fractional order α ; 1, a single parallel fractional element can match a wider range of load impedances as compared to its series counterpart. Several matching examples demonstrate the versatility of
