Lossless Impedance Matching - Part1/2

#145 In this video I look at how impedance matching can be done with reactive components - inductors and capacitors. Since the matching elements are reactive, and at least in theory have no resistive part, the matching is considered lossless. I look at the basic operating principles involved and also how such matching networks can be built.

Late edit: at 2:23 8:42 and 12:45 in the formula for Lp, the term Qel is a denominator not a numerator
