One of the few aspects of electronics that has not changed since the early days of the craft is impedance matching and, in particular, use of the Smith Chart. If you have an affinity for mathematics and are comfortable with complex numbers, all the arcs and circles makes perfect sense once the simple equations governing its construction are presented.

As with so many other things, you wonder how anyone ever thought to do such a thing, and at the same time wonder why it took so long for someone to think of it.

RF Cafe visitor Gary Steinhour KF6U , who recently donated a part of his cardboard slide rule calculator collection for display here, also very generously provided this mint condition copy of Phillip H. It even has the KAY Electric Company postcard in it and the transparencies for use on overhead projectors.

Used copies are sometimes available on Amazon , and on eBay as well. Having been written by the Smith Chart's inventor, first-person insight into its history is gained. For instance, prior to conceiving of the circular version of the Smith Chart in first published publically in , Mr. Smith devised an impedance matching chart using rectangular coordinates. In the labeling of the chart was changed so it would display directly either normalized impedance or normalized admittance, and in radial and peripheral scales were added to show the fixed relationship of complex transmission coordinates.

That is the version universally used today. If you have the interest and the time to really delve into the deep intricacies of the Smith Chart, then this is the book for you. Need help? Donate this book to the Internet Archive library. If you own this book, you can mail it to our address below.
