If you [think you]'ve solved it for one case, then invert R --> 1/R, C --> 1/L (at w=1) and you're done here. Tim -- Seven Transistor Labs, LLC Electrical Engineering Consultation and Contract Design Website: https://www.seventransistorlabs.com/

So, let us start with the LP corner < 2.0*PI*RLoad*Lload, What would be the solution ?

The setup is simple : A signal source feeds a low pass ladder matching network, e.g., of order 6. The source impedance is purely resistive (NO source reactance). The load is a resistor in series with an inductor. The load and source resistors have the same value So how do I compensate for the frequency dependent load inductor ?

I am afraid your suggested solution is very vague. Suppose the load inductor is 1 microHenry. Inverting this, the corresponding capacitor would have a value if 1 Mega Farad -- not physically realizable. Are you talking in terms of reactance in Ohms ? If so, what would be the frequency ?

Filters are designed at unity frequency. I can't write lowercase omega, so I said w=1 which looks similar. Use the same transformations as from any filter table to get Zo and Fo.

There's a tradeoff between the log of the return loss and bandwidth--it's a theorem of Bode's, so of course it's called the Fano-Bode limit.
