Hi, I was reading the paper "Design Methodology for distributed Power Amplifier in Software -Defined Radio Applications" and came across
"Once the characteristic impedances values are fixed, design can be completed by synthesizing the pi/2 transmission lines using lumped components and embedding the devices". I know how to make a transmission line using lumped elements but how do we do it for particular length of the line? Does it mean we need to design an inductor and capacitor per unit length and distribute them until we have pi/2 electrical length?
