Hi all. I know this will be a stupid question but I'm really confused. Attached is a picture of my amplifier design.
Transistor used is ATF 36077 and topology is cascaded, reactively terminated amplifier.
The microstrip transmission lines are supposed to be for matching purposes however I don't know what value of impedance to put on the transmission line calculator. I just put in 50 ohms for the impedance for some of the transmission lines and frequency is 11.25 GHz. Please help. I need to know how to match this circuit properly.

First of all, what is the used substrate ?
The impedances are defined by source pull and load pull simulation or measurement.

And I don't see any biasing voltage in this schematic...
 

The substrate used is RT Duroid 5880. I did not put any biasing since I loaded the s2p files of the ATF 36077 in the n-port that I used. Is that correct?
