Transcript Smith Chart Project


Dr. Dobry
› For programming expertise

Dr. Iskander
› For electromagnetic expertise

Update a text-based program to GUI

Cross-platform

Deepen our knowledge of EM & OOP in
C++

Everyone works on:
› Designing
› Researching
› Coding
› Debugging
Created block-diagram of overall design
 Brainstormed classes and functions
 Decided on coding convention
 Agree on function prototypes
 To research Qt (test modules)


Learn more about the values of
teamwork

Become more experienced and efficient
at OOP in C++

Gain a better understanding of GUI

A functional application that:
› Is cross-platform
› Accepts user input
› Solves TL with SC method
› Displays SC, TL layout, and component
values
Misunderstand Qt functions
 Inexperienced with:

› OOP in C++
› EM
› GUI
› Cross-platforming

