SWR and impedance matching for radio antennas can be a tough concept to wrap your mind around if you don’t have amazing visual demonstrations of the core concepts from the field of wave theory.
In this classic Bell Labs film featuring Dr. J.N. Shive—an inventor of the phototransistor and the creator of the Shive Wave Machine, Dr Shive breaks down complex wave behaviors like reflection, superposition, standing waves, and energy loss due to impedance mismatching, all in a way that's engaging and easy to understand. It's a perfect blend of science and real-world examples, true to Bell Labs' historical spirit of innovation.
