Impedance Matching Designer (L-section)

Design the lumped L-section that matches a complex load (R + jX, or pulled from a Touchstone S11 file) to a real source / system impedance at a design frequency.

What it is

Design the lumped L-section that matches a complex load (R + jX, or pulled from a Touchstone S11 file) to a real source / system impedance at a design frequency. Reports both canonical solutions with inductor / capacitor values, the verified match (|Gamma_in| at the numerical floor), the network Q and the return-loss bandwidth on a Smith reflection plane. Exact closed-form L-section math; for a specific bandwidth use a 3-element or multi-section design.

Honest scope

Deterministic and citation-backed: every figure is exact arithmetic or a cited rule. Any year- or jurisdiction-indexed value is a confirmable input, never an eternal hardcode. This is a computation tool, not professional (legal, tax, medical, or financial) advice - confirm against the controlling authority for your context.
