Note: This is not full information on this course, just a few things for which a web page is particularly helpful.

Xlineani.m, matlab transmission line animation demo. After you download it you can run it in matlab as long as the directory it is in is on your matlab path. To find out the parameters you need to put in to run it, type "help xlineani" at the matlab prompt. Also available are some example inputs for it.
"Bounce" time domain transmission line animation, from Marc A. Agate & Dr. Waymond Scott, Georgia Tech.
Sinusoidal transmission line excitation from Agilent Technologies.

Standard Smith Chart, with complete scales at the bottom.
Color Smith Chart, which makes solving problems using both impedance and admittance easier. (You can also use it simply to convert impedances into admittances and vice-versa, i.e., invert complex numbers.)
