Re: NanoVNA-V2 from Tindie
I also just received notice from USPS that the S-A-A 2 is in transit. With any luck I should receive it within a few days. I placed my order on the 8th of March, so given the current state of affairs

The Smith chart assumes that the impedances have been "normalized". Just divide by 50 to get one in the center Bob [email protected]> wrote:

Thanks for the reference. Not bad first response, appreciate that very much. Cannot say much about the rest of them. In future I will limit my posts to "how much is 1 and 1 " , asking to avoid sermons

I believe that the scale in question is linear... but it's measuring the "reflection coefficient", not "impedance". It has a value of -1 at the "zero ohms, short circuit" end, a value of 0 in the

Because I dropped a zero. :-) For example, the point 1.2 + j.7 is really 60 + j35 in a 50 Ohm system.

Why isn't the example = 60 + j35 ??? <snip>

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

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.

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

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,

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
