An excellent learning tool by just jumping in is SimSmith:
There is also an excellent tutorial (and a lot more) by W?QE at:

Time is well spent learning a bit about the Smith Chart.
You can plot a complex impedance and then draw a circle that intersects
the point and get the SWR. You can also measure the distance and get the
reflection coefficient and gamma.
A picture is worth a thousand words so here is a plot on a Smith Chart of
several complex impedances that all result in a SWR of 2 and a reflection
coefficient of 0.333 ( a Reflection Loss of 9.54 dB). The 40 + j30 from
the earlier discussion is one of these.
