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 ...

If you understand the definition of a mathematical function, a good way to judge it is that any line drawn parallel to the y-axis intersects with the values in the function’s curve only once. The same ...

Learn how to make everything from basic line graphs to racing bar charts — all interactive and easily animated — with the echarts4r R package. While I’m mostly settled on ggplot2 for static plots, I’m ...

In response to the prior Smith chart essay, several comments were offered via LinkedIn groups. One comment in particular, from Dan Bullard, caught my attention: “One of my interview questions is, what ...

[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 ...
