Fairclough for his continual assistance in themathematical aspects of this manuscript. Material in chapters 1, 2 and part of chapter 3 has been used for some years in the courses Microwavesand Radar and Electrical Principles C which I have been teaching for the BTEC HND here in Brunei. This book can provide the principles behind the use of these programs as well as provide afoundation for the design of the more advanced microwave frequency multi-stage transistor circuits, andoscillator circuits.
#The complete smith chart software#
In recent times, several software programs have appearedon the market which are designed to assist in the solution of various problems, to which the Smith chartlends itself. This book is intended to bring together in one work, the subject of Smith charts and its applications.This is because texts on microwave engineering normally provide no more than one chapter on thissubject, due to the breadth of the discipline. McNeill, developed the Smith chart used throughout this book. It relies on the knowledgeof the earlier chapters to design the input and output matching circuits of the microwave amplifiers. The fifth chapter considersthe design of microwave amplifiers using S-parameters and the Smith chart. The fourth chapter builds on the previous chapters by considering wide bandmatching problems using the various tools developed in the third chapter. The first two chapters review transmission line theory and develop the Smith and admittance charts.The third chapter considers single frequency applications to various matching problems which the Smithchart is adept at solving. The book advances from chapter to chapter, and as each chapter progresses, itbuilds on the work of the previous chapters.

This permits an intuitive understanding of the Smithchart to be developed. The solution of theseproblems using the Smith chart is then provided. To attain this basic objective, theory is developed and wherepossible, the theoretical solution to the various problems which are posed is given. It is intended that this bookbridge the theoretical and the practical. The five chapters of this book have been primarily written for students studying microwave engineeringat the diploma and degree levels, and practising microwave engineers.
