Abstract :
The problem of drawing maximum power from an 
port by suitably terminating it with another passive port is studied. Methods are derived for determining sets of passive impedance matrices which are "optimal" in the sense that they draw maximum power from a given port. It is shown that, in all nontrivial cases, if there exists any (passive or otherwise) optimum-load impedance matrix, then there exist, in fact, infinitely many passive optimum-load impedance matrices.
