The third chapter considers single frequency applications to various matching problems which the Smith chart is adept at solving. The first two chapters review transmission line theory and develop the Smith and admittance charts. The book advances from chapter to chapter, and as each chapter progresses, it builds on the work of the previous chapters. This permits an intuitive understanding of the Smith chart to be developed. The solution of these problems using the Smith chart is then provided. To attain this basic objective, theory is developed and where possible, the theoretical solution to the various problems which are posed is given. It is intended that this book bridge the theoretical and the practical.
