Smith Chart Course on YouTube

Introduction

Dr. Cynthia Furse at University of Utah prepared an excellent set of videos for ECE3300, a course on Fundamentals of ElectroMagnetics and Transmission Lines. The course includes fundamentals of wave propagation, transmission lines, impedance matching, electrostatics, magnetostatics, Maxwell’s equations, plane waves in free space, lossy media, and reflections from planar interfaces, wireless communication systems, electromagnetic safety. The course is applicable to many technical areas including wireless communication systems, high speed digital circuits, electromagnetic sensors, and bioelectromagnetics. The videos highlighted on this page relate to Smith Charts.
