Electronic Applications of the Smith Chart - In Waveguide, Circuit, and Component Analysis

Description

The legendary Smith chart inventor's classic reference book describes how the chart is used for designing lumped element and transmission line circuits. The book provides tutorial material on transmission line theory and behavior, circuit representation on the chart, matching networks, network transformations and broadband matching. It includes a new chapter with examples designs and description of the winSMITH software accessory. Content: Front Matter • Preface • Table of Contents Introduction 1. Guided Wave Propagation 2.
