The video goes over this theory briefly, but it’s real focus is on explaining how to read a Smith chart, an intimidating-looking tool which can be used to calculate impedances. The video covers ...

The Smith chart appeared in 1939 (Ref. 1) as a graph-based method of simplifying the complex math (that is, calculations involving variables of the form x + jy) needed to describe the characteristics ...

Download the eBook to find out how. What you’ll learn: Plot complex impedances on a Smith chart. Determine SWR from the Smith chart. Determine the impedance of a load at the end of a ...
