I've added an explanatory note to smith.html, the page on the
Smith chart, as to why a whole circuit of the Smith chart
represents a movement of the reference plane away from the
load by only half a wavelength. Some people have been having
trouble seeing this...
2/10/97
email me if you have trouble finding the Smith chart postscript file
(see below).

14/11/96. Corrections to the solution to Qn 3 in Problems 2

person who pointed this out to me.
13/11/96. I have put three copies of a training video produced by the
British Ministry of Defence in 1956 into the UoS library. The quality
of the copies is not that good, but Stepan Lucyszyn says he found it a
very useful aid to visualising wave motion in waveguide. The
animated graphics are helpful. You can check out one of these
for use in the Library in the Audio Visual room. Ask at the
Information desk. The title is "Microwave video".

Intentions of the course and
syllabus (DJJ) have been added.
