The legendary Smith chart inventor's classic reference book describes how the chart is used for designing lumped element and transmission line circuits. Provides tutorial material on transmission line theory and behavior, circuit representation on the chart, matching networks, network transformations and broadband matching. Includes a new chapter with examples designs and description of the winSMITH software accessory.

Also available at a special discount: The Smith Chart Toolset (Book, Software, Training CD)

BACK COVER

Many computational instruments have succumbed to the power of the digital computer. This is not the case with the Smith Chart. A testament to Phil's genius is that his Smith Chart is still an important training tool and it has evolved into a new role as a display grid on computer and instrument screens.
