A new impedance matching algorithm based on a hybrid genetic algorithm is presented. Unlike real‐frequency techniques, this new algorithm does not require ideal transformers, resonant sections are allowed, component ranges can be specified, and parasitic effects can be included. The results obtained are comparable to those obtained with the best published techniques. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
