The Smith chart is a circular nomogram used in radio frequency engineering to solve transmission line and impedance-matching problems. It plots a complex reflection coefficient on a grid of normalized
A network analyzer set up to display measured data on a Smith chart.
In geometry and complex analysis, a Möbius transformation of the complex plane is a rational function of the form f = a z + b c z + d of one complex variable z; here the coefficients a, b, c, d are co

…become the generally accepted term in the Western world. The Smith chart converts normalized impedance into the complex reflection coefficient using a Möbius transformation. Impedances with positive real parts (passive loads) plot inside the unit circle, while those with negative real parts fall outside it. For an impedance…
