Question

(question of microwave tuning, antenna) In practice, is it possible to use pure inductive or pure capacitive loads? If possible how matching could be achieved?

Answer 1

Yes, it is possible to use pure inductive load and pure capacitive load for impedance matching.

There are a variety of devices used between a source of energy and a load that perform "impedance matching".

To match electrical impedances, engineers use combinations of transformers, resistors, inductors, capacitors and transmission lines.

These passive (and active) impedance-matching devices are optimized for different applications and include baluns, antenna tuners (sometimes called ATUs or roller-coasters, because of their appearance), acoustic horns, matching networks, and terminators.
