Re: Smith Charts showing Reflection Coefficient and SWR

It seems to me that a logical way of looking at the Reflection Coefficient

representing all of the impedances that have a given Reflection Coefficient
(rho) and its corresponding SWR. Do I have this right now?

A Smith Chart has on the horizontal axis the real part of the reflection
coefficient from -1 to +1, with zero being in the centre. The vertical axis
is the imaginary part of the reflection coefficient, again from -1 to +1.
