. . test of - say - skill in solving transmission-line problems

with
the Smith Chart...

73 de Jim, N2EY


There already are Smith Chart questions in the pool


Smith Charts became obsolete eons ago.


BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

etc.

Kellie never used one in his life, apparently...:-)

Phil Smith's "wonderful diagram" is a standard
tool - today - for all RF designers.

It is so MUCH used that network analyzers even
have it for graphical display on the front panels of
such equipment. Today as well as 30 years ago.

But, a polar coordinate chart is for TWO related
quantities and that may be one too many for Kellie.

Tsk. I'll bet Kellie told that to the Captain at
dinner. Too bad Tenille wasn't there...
