>Smith approached a number of technical magazines for publication of his transmission line
diagram; however the acceptance process was slow. Finally, after two years, Smith’s article
describing his chart was published in the January 1939 issue of Electronics magazine. In a
second article, published in the January 1944 issue of Electronics, Smith incorporated further
improvements into his chart, including its usage alternatively as an impedance chart or an
admittance chart.
- Merrill 7y agoIn the late '60s, the introduction of PL/I, which had complex numbers as a primitive type and a math library of functions of complex numbers, made transmission line calculations much easier.
