This software and user's manual for version 3.0 of Automated Smith Chart aims to help readers design impedance-matching circuits with speed and accuracy. Compatible with Windows 95 and Windows NT, the 32-bit code has been enhanced with: a built-in optimzer function that automatically completes circuit designs based on a user-specified VSWR envelope; design aids, such as an easy quick transmission line/stub design tool and automated design overlays for 2-element ell-configuration matching circuits; menu-accessible HELP file; detailed graphical interface; an on/off trace toggle that reduces chart clutter; and input/out features. The software enables users to evaluate circuit bandwith response, examine alternative circuit designs and increase the speed of cross-talk evaluations for ICs. It also includes an IEEE 488 bus interface capability that allows users to collect and transfer measured data from an H-P network analyzer. System requirements: an IBM PC or compatible, Windows 95 or Windows NT; VGA or SVGA colour adapter; and 486 processor (Pentium recommended).
