Basic Fundamentals: "Smith Chart"

You will be able to easily perform complex complex calculations on charts.

Including transmission lines, solving various problems in high-frequency circuits using mathematical formulas becomes quite cumbersome due to complex calculations. However, by using the Smith chart devised by P. H. Smith, it becomes possible to easily perform such complex calculations graphically. With a slide rule, the property that multiplication can be replaced by addition when taking logarithms is utilized, allowing for easy multiplication by simply moving the slide. Similarly, the Smith chart is a convenient tool that uses conformal mapping to simplify high-frequency calculations. 【Features】 ○ When the load impedance Zr is not equal to the line impedance Z0, part of the incident wave returns to the source side as a reflected wave. ○ Standing waves appear on the line due to the interference between the reflected wave and the incident wave. ○ The ratio of the reflected wave to the incident wave is called the voltage reflection coefficient, generally represented by Γ or Γv.
