Thanks cnm. New findings from my test, I tried to measure conducted power after the matching, it has been reduced with the resistance in place. Really not a wise move.
I also realized one thing, this time without resistor, the higher i place for series inductor matching, the higher the loss regardless of the matching that I observed through
the network analyzer, I found out that 2.7nH has less than 1dBm loss compared to 4.3nH in series respectively. Is this observation hold true when doing matching ???
any thoughts ?
thanks
