Items of Interest: 

The interactive Smith chart enables users to navigate their way around a Smith chart, using simple discrete element impedance matching.

The Smith chart is commonly used to impedance match RF devices, such as amplifiers, antennas and transceiver devices. The chart is used during RF simulation by RF engineers and is displayed by vector network analyzers when taking S parameter measurements of RF circuitry.

Humor:

Remember Valentine’s day is coming…

The next meeting will be March 1st at 7 PM via Zoom (online video). The guest speaker will be a surprise. There is another guest speaker lined up for April, I hope.

The virtual meeting will start on March 1st at 6:45PM to work through any issues and rag chew to fill in the dead air.. The guest speaker will be first on the agenda.
