Impedance matching is one of the perpetual confusions for new electronics students, and for good reason: the idea that increasing the impedance of a circuit can lead to more power transmission is ...

[Ralph] is excited about impedance matching, and why not? It is important to match the source and load impedance to get the most power out of a circuit. He’s got a whole series of videos about it. The ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
