Okamura, S., ” “Smith chart” may have origin in Japan,” The Journal of the Institute of Electrical Communication Engineers of Japan, pp.768-769, August 1959 (in Japanese). [1] Mizuhashi, T., “Theory ...

Upon initial look, the Smith chart appears to be quite complicated. Although the basis for the chart is deeply rooted in complex variable theory, you do not have to be a graduate-level mathematician ...

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 ...

The Smith chart is a staple for analyzing complex impedance. [W2AEW] notes that a lot of inexpensive test gear like the MFJ-259B gives you complex readings, but fails to provide the sign of the ima… ...

If you are looking for simulation software, you are probably thinking LTSpice or one of the open-source simulators like Ngspice (which drives Oregano and QUCs-S), or GNUCap. However, there is a new… ...

Impedance matching is easy if you know the basics. 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 Smith chart can also be used to tune a transmission line system to have an input value of 50+j0 ohms even though the measured input is something other than 50+j0 ohms. For this exercise, assume ...
