<title>Introduction – Why the Heck Do We Need a Smith Chart?</title>
<section>
<title>Welcome to RF Design</title>
<paragraph>RF circuits have minds of their own—wires act like antennas,
components behave unpredictably, and impedance mismatches can turn a perfect
design into a noise machine.</paragraph>

<title>What Happens Without a Smith Chart?</title>
<paragraph>At DC and low frequencies, you could just use resistors. But at high
frequencies, you deal with transmission lines, capacitors, and inductors.</paragraph>

<title>Why Impedance Moves on the Smith Chart</title>
<paragraph>Impedance moves due to transmission line effects. Instead of
solving equations manually, the chart lets you visualize impedance
changes.</paragraph>

<title>L-Network Matching</title>
<paragraph>One of the simplest and most effective impedance-matching
techniques is the L-network.</paragraph>

<title>Differential Matching: Zero-IF IQ Signals</title>
<paragraph>At a zero-IF RF interface, I and Q signals are already modulated to
the RF transmission frequency.</paragraph>

<title>Broadband Impedance Matching</title>
<paragraph>Broadband impedance matching is critical for wideband antennas,
amplifiers, and RF front-ends.</paragraph>
</section>
<section>
<title>Power Amplifier Matching & Load-Pull Analysis</title>
<paragraph>Power amplifiers require careful impedance matching to maximize
efficiency and power output.</paragraph>
</section>
<section>
<title>Stability Circles & Avoiding Oscillations</title>
