Abstract
The concept of explaining nowadays the use of an old tool like the Smith chart, using modern tools like MATLABTM [1] scripts in combination with e-learning facilities, is exemplified by two MATLABTM scripts that display, step by step, the graphical procedure that must be used to solve the double-stub impedance matching problem. These two scripts correspond to two different possible ways to analyze this matching problem and they are important for students to learn by themselves.
