Abstract

An input matching circuit and a related apparatus are provided. The input matching circuit includes an inductive branch, a first resistor, and a field-effect transistor, the inductive branch includes one or more inductors and a second resistor, a first end of the first resistor is connected to a signal input end, and a second end of the first resistor is grounded. The signal input end is configured to provide a signal input for the input matching circuit, an input end of the inductive branch is connected to the signal input end, and an output end of the inductive branch is grounded. An inductance value of an equivalent inductor of the inductive branch between the signal input end and the ground varies with adjustment of a frequency of a signal input by the signal input end.
