matching an LNA
i have a thought in my mind and if i am wrong i need someone to correct it for me..
i know that matching assures that there no reflections back to the source while conjugate matching assures the max. power transfere which we need in LNA to obtain max. gain. but conjugate matching yields reflections back to the source...so what i noticed in Pozar and Gonzales books that we first make a matching to the 50 ohm line and then make a conjugate matching to the input to the LNA to assure max. power transfere and no reflections back to the source at the same time...is that a true guessing or i am just wrong.
