Abstract
In Chap. 1, impedance matching was introduced in the context of power amplifier design as a means of adding a power amplifier between the modulator and the antenna with minimum insertion loss. In general, impedance matching is necessary in any RF and microwave design in order to avoid unnecessary power losses that arise because signal wavelength decreases to a size where it becomes comparable to the characteristic circuit component length.
