Smith Chart
“A polar chart of Γ upon which a normalized Z grid has been superimposed, while for the sake of clarity the Γ grid has been removed.”
- Characteristics of the Smith Chart (1) All possible values of Z and Y can be plotted on the Γ-plane (2) Easy conversion of Z to Y(and vice versa) (3) Dete……
