Hi all, A bit late in posting this, but to all those who are just starting out, and having a learning curve approaching the Smith Chart, I have put together an introductory article.? You can find it here: 73's Aldo W2AGC

Exactly. The real axis coordinates are scaled as (1+¦£)/(1-¦£), i.e., the real part of the normalized impedance Z_L / Z_o .

The Smith Chart is a plot of the reflection coefficient where it's magnitude covers 0 to 1 having a phase angle from 0 to 360 degrees (0 to 2pi radians) (vector....mag and phase angle).? The impedances, the three circles, correspond to mag and phase of the reflection coefficient.? Basicallya these three circles are over laid onto the reflection coefficient.
I agree that it is not easy to be very accurate.?? Tough to mark and read off the impedance coordinates in many places on the chart.
