Interactive Mismatched Line

Intro

This is a demonstration of using IPythons interact function with some of skrf's network creation methods.

As of IPython 2.0, the widgets in this notebook won't show up on http://nbviewer.ipython.org. To view the widgets and interact with them, you will need to download this notebook and run it with an IPython Notebook server.

Mismatched Line

This demonstrates the response of a mismatched transmission line of a given length. Specifically, a line of electrical length $d$ with characteristic impedance $z_0$ is embedded in the coaxial environment (RG-58 ) with $z_0 \approx 54\Omega$. The resultant S-parameters are plotted in log mag and on the smith chart.
