Hello dr, Using complex with your HP 50g is really easy, First thing you want to know is to toggle from real to complex, for this just press and hold [left-shift] and then press [TOOL], on top of the screen toggles from C to R (leave it in C). For example, let's say you want to calculate the parallel combination of Z1= 120 + j95 and Z2 = 150 j80, that is: Zp = (Z1*Z2)/(Z1 + Z2). Make sure you are working with soft menus. (flag -117 must be set). Let's work with just four decimal places: Press and hold [left-shift] and then press [MODE] press [F1] to choose FMT then press 4 and [F2] to choose FIX. In the math menu let's choose complex Press [left-shift] [SYMB] then [NXT] and [F3] to choose CMPLX. Let's enter the first impedance: 120 [SPC] 95 [F4] (R->C combine two real numbers in a complex number) Let's enter the second impedance: 150 [SPC] 80 [+/-] [F4] Find the product [*] (this means the product key) Let's retrieve the two impedance values: Press [left-shift] [ENTER] (ANS in RPN retrieve the last argument(s)) find the sum [+] finally divide the two values [/] And there you have it, the value of Zp.
