For impedance matching, you can then use thee Smith chart to design an L- network by drawing constant resistance and constant constant conductance circles. Each reactive element moves the point along a known traditory until it reaches thee center. The required inductance or capacitance is found from the change in normazed reactance and thee operating frequency.
