Here is a good site for calculating impedance matching networks:
http://bwrc.eecs.berkeley.edu/research/rf/projects/60ghz/matching/impmatch.html
In the old days when exciters had tubes and tuned outputs, most linear
amps had
input Qs of from 1 to 2 or thereabouts. With the advent of solid state
exciters
without tunes outputs, the requirement seems to be for a higher Q to
provide the
flywheel effect. Measures recommends a Q of 5based upon Eimac
recommendations:
http://www.somis.org/D-amplifiers4.html
An L network matching 50 Ohms to 60 Ohms (3x3-500Z) has a Q of .44! I
addition,
an L network will not match 50 Ohms to 50 Ohms. This requires a 3
element network.
