Software without installation, without java, without java script, without Windows drivers, incompatible VBasic dll, outdated *.NET libraries, #.NET libraries, ms buggy C++, suddenly expired forever licences, "Blue screen of Microsoft death", and endless administrative (/IT) tasks. Screw the ever changing java, incompatible versions of JS script, or mutually incompatible OS versions. Embedded is the way to go. Electronic Smith Chart

With java, we can dream about long Fortran mantissa. Some compilers are not compliant with the C standard.
Do people deserve at least one working Win OS, built with government taxpayer subsidies?
Going through PURGATORY from DOS1.12, DOS2.1, DOS3.22, Win3.09, Win3.11, Win_NT4.0, Win_NT4.1, Win95, Win98, Win2000, Vista, Win_XP, Win7 Home/Pro, Win8.1, Win10, Win11, 16bit, 32bit, 64bit, 128bit, Win25? he he. If you receive admin message "Access not granted", "File in use", it is not the right system. Windows is gouging tool. Ask what OS-system runs fiscal account of your country!
There are many Smith Chart programs delivering HIGH PRECISION numbers, coming from very VOLATILE INPUT data. Software simulation became religion.
Fake programs mimic PowerSmith software:
- java works on every computer different way. :-) pity.
- The .NET library don't show visible Radio_Buttons on Win11. :-) pity.
- Transmission Line rotates the wrong way. :-) pity.
- Lossy Transmission Line 0.56 lambda rotates 0.75 lambda. :-) pity.
- Hot air. Snake oil. A quantillion of shortcuts and software wars.
- The best joke is obligatory back door in developed software programs and Windows OS.

Control question
You have 1kW and the SWR=1.44; How much power do you burn?
The load is ZL= 34.8 ohms or 72 ohms real.
32.5 Watts is the heat. That's not the whole story.
Any load impedance mismatch change the shape of output signal, harmonics, intermodulations, and spectrum. You are not able to pull out full power. Where the power goes? The power bounces back from the unmatched load, overloading power amplifier by voltage and extreme current in nodes. Resulting in excessive heat and transistor thermal and current run-away. Pssst! Pufff. Keep low SWR. Decreasing temperature of active device by 10C degrees increases life span of the active device by about 102.5= 316x. (Arrhenius *1859-1927, activation energy).
For the PowerSmith user
We tried to do something for small companies and radio amateurs for development purposes, education, and design. The treasure throve is in math. The NTFS file system is not supported. DOSBox.com can be downloaded in seconds. With DOSBox the program runs on Win10, Win11. Try wine for Linux, React OS, or different OS system.
How it works
The program is result of long time hard work and debugging. It was optimized for memory use, speed, size, simplicity, and graphical user interface. Based on real use in lab.
The released version has security features against misuse to make a Win/MAC/Android/Linux clones. Some functions and features were modified.
Extended s-parameter menu is functional for specific customers.
