#919 Resistance Reactance Impedance

Episode 919
Let's talk about these terms and look at an example

Thank you once again for your excellent vidoes. I'm a 58-year-old "math major" who programs computers for a living, but dabbles in electronics. Your videos are exactly on the right level for me, and I like your style.

We never did Smith charts at school but now thanks to you they are starting to make more sense.

My only comment is that at 2:18 you say: "Its easier for low frequencies to go through the capacitor", I think you meant to say "Its easier for high frequencies to go through the capacitor".

Thanks again for the Video.

Nice and simple way to introduce a complex topic, good effort. That's the cornerstone of a great teacher, even if you never teached.

crystal clear and awesome presentation, I love those maths behind impedance, reactance and smith charts 😀

[ghjq]

Thank you for a very imformative video. I always wondered what the Smith Chart was, and your explanation was very clear and understandable.

[radoslawbiernacki]

Sir, this is most easy to understand and usefull video about Smith chart on YT. Please continue. Your videos are great!

[krzysztofsoja]

Thanks a lot! Looking forward to see next one about the Smith chart :)

Also, I have to say that the 2π converts the frequency, f from the unit of Hertz (cycle/s) to the "unitless" unit of radians/sec. The 2π being of the unitless unit of radians/cycle.

I agree, write a book, you are a such great lecturer. It wolud be a second book of you, just after "The memories of the high-tech corpos' engineer" :)

[krishnasa]

Excellent explanation! Please make a video on Smith Charts, Thank you very much.

[JoseHernandez-mdtv]

Never got it told like this, please keep going that way.

[wildbill]

Nice video of understanding a smith chart and a nanovna

[rrb]

gorgeous VNA you build with that 8711... great!

[skylabby]

You've made it so easy to understand..Thank you.

[darkobul]

I was just trying to find info on this and you posted the video.

[electroautomation]

Really like your videos. I'm an old fart myself and play around with inductors, capacitors and VNAs. I usually am trying to incorporate microcontrollers into my designs to automate adjustments so.... more videos with micros ??? Anyhow... keep up the work - we all seem to like it :)

[bobkozlarekwasqq]

Where were you when i was in school? Great video!

[aphil]

Possible stupid question. Can a VNA be used to check capacitors and inductors? I have some capacitors to check...

[TonyBarr]

For all you mechanical engineers out there (like me!) who like to dabble in electronics: The Smith Chart is the "Mohr's Circle" of electronics. What do you think?

[yuanwang]

Just wondering hp 8711 how many sweep points it can do? 401?
