Designing a matching circuit for maximum power transfer

[OnceMore]

Hello.

I need to design a matching circuit to provide maximum power transfer from a generator with impedance Z_g to a load with impedance Z_L. The matching circuit has a length of transmission line with impedance Z₀ and short circuit or open circuit stub with impedance Z_s. I need to design with a short circuit stub and then an open circuit stub.

I am just not sure how to match Z_g to Z_L. I now if I was matching to just a line with impedance Z₀, I would find the normalised impedance. Plot that point on the Smith chart, drawing a circile of that radius. Then, where that circuit crosses the 1 + jx circle, I can find the lengths of stubs needed, and the distances.

But I am just not sure if it is the same process for matching Z_g to Z_L. And I am not sure about the maximum power transfer.

I hope someone can point me in the right direction.

Thanks

Can the stub be located anywhere between the source and the load, or is it to be at the source or load end?

I'm pretty sure it can be located anywhere between the source and load.
