M, that is an interesting application model. I think the prevailing wisdom would have been to use a lower impedance driver and transmission line to minimize the discontinuity caused by load capacitances. What you did plays on paper. I would be wary of how accurately the real loads match the line, especially with tolerancing, but if it worked, that is what counts. Still 130 ohms seems like a value derived from a pair and not a single ended. I think Prasad is in India, and we won't see a response until tonight. Regards, Steve.
