MATCHING OF TRANSMISSION LINES
In this chapter we will continue the development of transmission linę theory in the important
context of transforming impedances so that source impedances can be conjugately
matched to load impedances. We will introduce the important concept of the Smith Chart
which is an invaluable tool for the visualisationof forward and
backward waves and of
impedance conditions on a transmission linę.
In all of the work in this chapter the transmission lines will be assumed to be lossless.
