Re: Another off-topic about Smith chart
Because I dropped a zero. :-) For example, the point 1.2 + j.7 is really 60 + j35 in a 50 Ohm system.

Re: Another off-topic about Smith chart
The Smith Chart coordinates are normalized to the impedance of whatever system you are using. This is usually 50 Ohms so the 1.0 in the center of the chart is 50 Ohms resistance, 0 Ohms reactance. You

Re: Another off-topic about Smith chart
There is no scale as such. The mathematics provides the translation from the rectangular Z coordinate system to polar and the result of that math transformation yields the curves your are referencing.

Re: Another off-topic about Smith chart
Yes but the gentleman wants to know about the scaling of those curves which are defined by the uniquely derived? equations as shown in the URL I posted. Gedas, W8BYA EN70 Gallery at http://w8bya.com

Re: Another off-topic about Smith chart
Actually, the Smith chart is "normalized" to whatever the impedance that you are working with, usually 50 but could be 75 or 450 if open wire feed line.The operation to compute is as John described,

Re: Another off-topic about Smith chart
Hi, The scale is neither linear nor logarithmic, and I¡¯m not sure what it is. Luckily it does not matter if you just want to use the smith chart. Generally for radio work the centre is defined as 50

Newer FW versions add functionality and/or correct errors. Any FW version from the beginning of 2020 will do and they are easy to flash into the device.
