Since the input and output impedances are much smaller than 50 , having the coupling
capacitors at the 50 end of the matching networks result in smaller coupling capacitors.
Since the output voltage can be larger than the FET supply voltage, this does however
place an extra DC voltage on the capacitors of the output-matching network and high
voltage, low loss capacitors may need to be used.
