We can use these two equations (8) and (9) to solve for the two
unknowns MS and ML . As shown in the text, these solutions
are

The first step in this design process is to ensure that the device is
unconditionally stable at 4.0 GHz.
From (10) and (11) we find for this amplifier at 4.0 GHz that

These values of MS and ML will produce the maximum

illustrates this procedure for the source (the IMN). Here we will
determine the output matching network that produces (19).

Note that a dc bias network is not shown, nor has its effects been
accounted for in these simulated results. The S parameters were
simply used in the simulation, but the bias network needed to
achieve the operating point was neglected. Not good.
