I'm an accountant. I feel like I walked into the wrong classroom but stuck around because the teacher was so good. I actually understood this very well; thank you.

As an RF test engineer, I have to say this was beautifully done! I used to struggle with smith charts in college, wish I was able to see this then!

[saywhat]

Educating is like comedy. It is all in the preparation and delivery that provides for the audience either “getting it” or not and this was exceptionally presented in an all relatable fashion that did not require people knowing “inside information”. Nice work.

I'm not a radio engineer, I will probably never need this in my entire life, but thank you, it is very helpful

[Swdh_Fs]

ok but as an EE student when you DO use the smith chart and it works, you feel like a wizard and you save a lot of time

[MrHjld]

I am an electrical engineering phd candidate and I have to say that this is a phenomenally explained video! Your use of animations were amazing!

[joseivan]

I am an electronic engineer who studied in the best engineering school in my country. I've never had an explanation so good in my transmissions line course while in college. Simply amazing!

I’m an audio engineer, and I studied a lot of electrical/electronic engineering beyond my course work. This involved understanding the intricacies of amplification in venues of all sizes. This popped up in my exploration, and I didn’t find it scary at all—just as now, I thought it was one of the most brilliant graphical representation of a complex problem I’ve ever seen. I’d forgotten about it over the years, but seeing it again just made me smile. It’s absolutely astonishing how elegant our universe is.

I am an engineer with 15yrs experience and I still learnt a lot about impedance matching.
This is the best explanation of it I have seen

[sparten]

This is a way better explanation than I ever got in my electromagnetism class

My father was an electrical engineer and he explained the Smith Chart to me when I was still in grade school. I sort of remembered it but you really brought my memory back on it. Thanks. That made me feel all warm and fuzzy. :)

As a mechanical Engineer, EE stuff usually makes me want to run and hide, but this was fantastically explained and I feel like I learned something today!

[Brusswuoka]

This is one of those things that you hate with all you got until you magically understand it and it feels like dark magic. I vividly remember going through an entire transmission lines/antenna course without understanding anything at all. Then one day something snapped in my head and felt like the easiest thing ever. Once again, thanks youtube for bringing back some good memories!

[rodolforibas]

It’s been so many years listening to “matching the impedance” in audio cables and inputs, but not understanding why… now this blew up my mind, thank you so much

[Pribumi]

I am a student of English Literature Undergraduate, this does not relate to any of my subjects but I watch it anyway because how straightforward you are at presenting the topic

[asklar]

The Smith chart always felt like one of the most "mystical" cult-cargo-y things in my EE curriculum. This video explained it very well! would love a follow-up video describing how the chart is derived from first principles!

[ayanbasu]

When I first learned about this in my electromagnetics class, I wanted to beat the Smith Charts to a pulp. I did not understand it at all. The first time I looked at one, I thought I was looking at a freaking singularity!!!!

[raffoAlejandro]

The real question here is... How did they even come up with this chart? Just by looking at it you already wonder how the hell do you place such values. Amazing stuff

[Fabianvolf]

The scariest thing I learned in this video is that I'm an absolute ape and cannot comprehend how somebody came up with this.

a first year electrical and electronics engineering undergrad here. The analogy of rope used here really gave a clear insight on how signal actually travels are reflects back. keep it up !
