    Been struggling with impedance transformation and Reactance. This video brought me a big moment of insight. Thanks for posting.

    My teacher drilled that formula into my head Z= sqrt(x^2 + Y^2) I will never forget it. I need to make some spread sheets as well, its a great idea. I made up quite a few for my microcontroller and labview classes.

    What should be a good input transformer for broadband, from 3 to 30Mhz?

    When I see the transistor S parameters I thought you would have to make a matching network that would also cancel out the reactance so you would get maximum power into the transistor. Is this not so?

    Suitable matching for 432 MHz with that MRFE6vp1k2 or BLF188xr ?

    We got into calculating series and parallel branches of impedances as well as tank circuits at the end of the first year. We will be building some pretty simple things in the next semester but I really want to build high powered amplifier using one of these devices and incorporate a switchable matching network to use across the amateur bands. My vna should be here in a few more days. Looking forward to playing with that, Thank you for sharing this info.
    We havent learned the smith chart yet in school but having learned all of the theory already, I pretty much see whats going on in the smith chart, AC theory busted my balls LOL

    Say you are running class AB or B with a transformer that has a center tap secondary, do your turns ratio need to be divided in two so you would have half the amount of turns? EDIT you answered my question in the video

    Hi. Can you give me some more details regarding the 3:1 transformer uses at 9:32? In particular, how it was sized. I believe is coreless am I right?

    Why are you using a purely resistive load (the pot) to simulate a complex impedance?

    the simplest way is to measure from transistor side no need of variable resistor just terminate input or output with 50 ohms simple
