We are very pleased to announce that our store is open again after an absence of a few years
from 1998 to late 2002. You can now use your credit card to
buy items from SSS Online via PayPal -- it's fast, secure, and easy. Please take a few minutes to browse
the items we currently have for sale. If you're interested in RF modules for use in OEM applications,
please see Pegasus Technologies' store.
We keep planning to put up clever tee shirts and other items of interest to engineering-type people,
but don't seem to find the time to get this set up. In the meantime, we recommend
Think Geek, which has all sorts of nifty items -- such as tee shirts that have the first 3,000 digits of Pi or
ones that announce "insufficient memory....". Their prices are reasonably, their service is good, the
quality of the products is also good. They've outfitted our kids for the last couple of years!
Electronic Applications of the Smith Chart in Waveguide, Circuit and Component Analysis
WHOOPS! WE RAN OUT OF STOCK! Please order
this directly from
Amazon.com until we get some more in.
This is THE classic reference book from the legendary inventor of the Smith chart. The book
describes how the chart is used for designing lumped element and transmission line circuits,
provides tutorial material on transmission line theory and behavior, circuit representation
on the chart, matching networks, network transformations and broadband matching. This revised
edition includes a new chapter with examples designs and description of Noble Publishing's
winSmith software accessory.
Many computational instruments have succumbed to the power of the digital computer.
This is not the case with the Smith Chart. A testament to Phil's genius is that his
Smith Chart is still an important training tool and it has evolved into a new role
as a display grid on computer and instrument screens.
