Abstract: The present invention relates to an adaptable RF impedance translation circuit that includes a first group of inductive elements cascaded in series between an input and an output without any series switching elements, a second group of inductive elements cascaded in series, and a group of switching elements that are capable of electrically coupling the first group of inductive elements to the second group of inductive elements. Further, the adaptable RF impedance translation circuit includes at least one variable shunt capacitance circuit electrically coupled between a common reference and at least one connection node in the adaptable RF impedance translation circuit, which includes control circuitry to select either an OFF state or an ON state associated with each of the switching elements and to select a capacitance associated with each variable shunt capacitance circuit to control impedance translation characteristics of the adaptable RF impedance translation circuit.
