Fig. 1 Series to Parallel Conversion After the conversion we find that the mast impedance has a resistance in parallel with a reactance which could be either capacitive or inductive. This reactance can be neutralised with the help of a reactance of same magnitude but opposite in phase. These two reactances which are equal but opposite in polarity resonate and offer pure resistance. Further this resistance Rp can be matched to the feeder line with the help of any network. The advantage of this method is that whenever the mast is capacitive we can neutralise with a parallel inductive reactance. This reactance in addition to matching, also provide a static leaks for the lightning. This will eliminate the separate provision of static leaks. Besides the coils being sturdy will be a more appropriate solution for lightning protection. The third method employed is shunting the mast impedance with a high Q coil irrespective of whether the mast is inductive or capacitive. This will alter the net impedance offered by the antenna and can be manipulated to the desired value by varying the inductive reactance. In effect the coil impedance alters the mast impedance. This method is used to bring down the higher value of mast impedance to a manageable level for designing suitable network. This method is often known as Pre-Tuning.

Induction Course (Radio) Pi Networks PI Networks can be designed in number of ways like By assuming phase shift By assuming the Q factor By splitting the network as two L networks
By assuming Phase shift Find the ratio n = R1/R2 Assume the phase angle from 0 to 180

1 n .Cos n .Sin
XB = R2/b
XC = R2/c
In the above case for all phase angles the X B shall be positive and hence inductive , X A shall be negative and hence capacitive. Where as X C could be positve/negative depending on phase angle selected. For some values of phase angle Pi network becomes L network.

Pi networks are flexible and can be designed for any phase shift. They can act as very good fitters to suppress harmonics.
T Network
In some typical cases where L network is not possible it may be necessary to design T networks. This can be designed as follows.

Some times it is possible to design T networks with the load reactance as the X 2 arm of the above network. Therefore there will be only two components in the matching networks , means it is an L network. T network can precisely control phase shifts and can tune wide range of impedances.
