-z Zc ZL z = 0 impedance along the line Look at a distance z = - L toward the generator
-z Zc ZL z = 0 impedance along the line impedance is periodic every half-wavelength
-z Zc ZL z = 0 impedance along the line quarter wavelength Z <==> Y short ==> open open ==> short
-z quarter wave transformer Zc1 Zc2 ZL z = 0 matching frequency sensitive
-z Zc ZL z = 0 shorted line open line all values of reactance
L X = Zc tan kL
Should I add something in series or in parallel?
series parallel good bad
-z -z -z Zc Zc Zc ZL ZL ZL z = 0 z = 0 z = 0 Eureka! Use a stub.
-z impedance along the line Zc ZL z = 0 shorted line all values of susceptance

-z -z -z Not matched! Zc Zc Zc ZL ZL ZL z = 0 z = 0 z = 0 Needs some -jB somewhere, but where? Eureka! Use a stub, somewhere. How long should it be?
An article appeared in the January, 1939 issue of Electronics that changed forever the way radio engineers think about transmission lines. Phil Smith [1907-1985] devised an extraordinarily clever circular chart that revealed graphically the complex impedance anywhere along a line. No math and minimum fuss. There's a marvelous symmetry in its design - everything fits together neatly. So ingenious was his invention that it has been the standard of the industry - for over sixty years.
-z Zc ZL z = 0 multiply numerator and denominator by the complex conjugate
-z Zc ZL z = 0 equate real and imaginary parts
-z Zc ZL z = 0 real
-z Zc ZL z = 0 real
-z Zc ZL z = 0 imaginary
