![]() ![]() To do so, westart from the general definition of line impedance (which is equallyapplicable to the load impedance) The goal of the Smith chart is to identify all possible impedances onthe domain of existence of the reflection coefficient. Thisis also the domain of the Smith chart.Īmanogawa, 2000 - Digital Maestro Series 138 The domain of definition of thereflection coefficient is a circle ofradius 1 in the complex plane. The chart provides a clever way tovisualize complex functions and it continues to endure popularitydecades after its original conception.įrom a mathematical point of view, the Smith chart is simply arepresentation of all possible complex impedances with respect tocoordinates defined by the reflection coefficient. The Smith chart is one of the most useful graphical tools for highfrequency circuit applications. He recently published The VNA Applications Handbook through Artech House.Amanogawa, 2000 - Digital Maestro Series 137 He served on the 2016 EDI CON Technical Advisory Committee, was co-chairman for the 2014 International Microwave Symposium (IMS) Microwave Application Seminars (MicroApps), and served as Chairman of the IEEE Florida West Coast Section MTT/AP/ED Societies. ![]() ![]() He has also authored and delivered several MicroApps presentations at past IEEE-MTT shows. He holds Masters Degrees in both Electrical Engineering and Engineering Management from the University of South Florida, and has published in journals such as QST, the ARRL Handbook, Microwaves & RF, Test & Measurement World, and Evaluation Engineering. ![]() His experience includes stints with both Commercial and Aerospace/Defense companies such as the American Radio Relay League, Cubic Corporation, E-Systems, GTE Spacenet, Philips Semiconductors, and Raytheon. He has worked in the RF & Microwave field since 1982 in Design, Systems Engineering, and Test & Measurement roles.
