SERIES/PARALLEL CONVERSION

At any one frequency, a series impedance may be converted to its equivalent parallel form, and vice versa. This is a very handy tool for match network design.


                 Series/Parallel Conversion

                 Convert impedances between their Series and Parallel forms.

                 Units:  ohms

                 Input Ser or Par Z (S or P) [<Enter>=Quit] ? _

Let's do a series to parallel conversion and find the parallel equivalent of a series impedance of 25 + j30 ohms. Enter "S" at the prompt up above and press <Enter>.

                 Enter RS,XS: ? _

Type "25,30" above and press <Enter> once again.

Here is the output calculation:

                 RP = 61.000 ohms
                 XP = 50.833 ohms
