HINT: TRY PUSHING F11 KEY TO GET BIGGER SCREEN IF THE FLASH PROGRAM IS TOO BIG FOR SCREEN!
This Smith Chart Tutorial Consists of 5 Flash programs with embedded audio. These programs will allow you to learn the Smith Chart through interactive flash programs.
Tutorial 1: Basics of the Smith Chart: Impedance, Admittance charts, Reflection Coefficient representation.

(This is about 11 M file - most of the file space is audio)
Tutorial 2: Use the Smith Chart to Match an arbitrary load using Lumped Capacitor and Inductor components

(This is about 4 M file - most of the file space is audio)
Tutorial 3: Use the Smith Chart to see how transmission line affects the reflection coefficient. Also match an arbitrary load using a transmisison line and a Lumped (Capacitor/Inductor) element.
