Abstract :
The Smith chart, while being a very useful graphical tool for the analysis and design of high-frequency circuits, is subject to manual interpretation errors. A normalized impedance and admittance chart (Y-Z Smith chart) represented by a neural-network-type distributed computing system is developed for design automation. Two examples showing the use of such a neural network to design an impedance matching circuit are presented.<>
