Understanding the Smith Chart

The Smith Chart is a graphical chart used primarily in electronics to display the impedance of transmission lines and circuits over a wide range of frequencies. It shows the relationship between the impedance of an electrical component and its physical/electrical properties such as inductance and capacitance. The chart allows one to determine the impedance of a transmission line or circuit based on parameters like the line length, termination, and operating frequency.
