Branch Voltages:
-> Also, Qs = Qp (in terms of energy and loss, the network has the same behavior)
-> After reduction of the expressions,
-> For a given Q, the parallel resistance is much larger than the series resistance
-> inductance stays almost the same, larger the Q, less the change
Series-Parallel Transformations
-> Similarly, for a series R-C segment,

The Need for Impedance Transformers
Most matching networks maximize the power delivered from/to the source/load.
In Low Noise Amplifiers, optimum matching is for noise and not power -- close,
but not the same.
