#146 In this video I continue looking at the topic of impedance matching using lossless elements, by looking at the topic of how complex impedances can be handled and matched. Although for simplicity real life impedances are considered purely resistive, most of the time, this is not the case, and signal sources and load also have a reactive part that needs to be taken into account.
