  • Abstract
    The design of reactive pi-networks for transforming a wide range of complex load impedance into a fixed resistance shunted by a tuned circuit is subjected to a thorough investigation. A very significant result is the complete analogy which is established between the analysis and design of the pi-network and the equivalent manipulation of a group of simple geometrical figures.
