With the case of a transmission line between a source and a load there always are the following important points:
1. matching the load to the line,
2. line loss as a function of its length
3. matching the load to the line
4. homogeneity of the line

The input and output tuning is an iterative process. Get some tuners and try it in the lab on a real part. If your load impedance is varying that much you may want a circulator on the output.

Hi viper.
You can match impedances at one frequency, or at another. Not at both.
The flaw is in the person(s) who write an article or make a comment about an impedance value, in general the practice has been overseen so badly that nobody sees as wrong.
Anyone who talks about the impedance of a device, MUST express "at such frequency".

The port impedance is set by maximum power transfer (conjugate matching). Typically 50 Ohms. However, impedance transformers are usually adopted to match and alter the port impedance. Common-source amplifiers with degenration are a prime example where impedance transformation is adopted to suppress noise figure.
