Smith Charts: Foundations (Pt 1) - Impedance & Admittance and more (00h2 )

At the very bedrock level of the foundation for using a Smith Chart is an understanding of the complex quantities of Impedance and Admittance. Don't be intimidated by the math! The Smith Chart will do most of it for us! Concentrate on understanding the concepts. In addition to, and related to, this is a quick understanding of how we can rid ourselves of that pesky reactive portion of an impedance in two different ways. 00:05 Introduction 01:02 Resistance vs Conductance & Impedance vs Admittance 01:50 Resistance & Conductance 05:13 A little terminology - Similarities 05:40 Differences - DC vs AC 06:08 Impedance & Admittance 14:31 Admittance/Susceptance 15:48 Admittance & Impedances in parallel 17:03 Eliminating the Reactive Portion 18:34 Add reactance in Series 21:44 Add reactance in Parallel 25:31 Final Comments and Toodle-oots!
