Polar Plot of Reflection Coefficient
5
The Smith chart is based on a polar plot of the voltage reflection coefficient . The outer boundary corresponds to || = 1. The reflection coefficient in any passive system must be|| ≤ 1.

Admittance Coordinates
19
We could have derived the Smith chart in terms of admittance.
You can make an admittance Smithchart by rotating the standardSmith chart by 180.
Impedance/AdmittanceConversion
20
The Smith chart is just a plot of complex numbers. These could be admittance as well as impedance.
To determine admittance from impedance (or the other way around)…
1. Plot the impedance point on the Smith chart.2. Draw a circle centered on the Smith chart that passes through the point (i.e. constant VSWR).3. Draw a line from the impedance point, through the center, and to the other side of the circle.4. The intersection at the other side is the admittance.

1. Plot the normalized load impedance on the Smith chart.2. Draw a circuit centered on the Smith chart that intersections this point.3. The VSWR is read where the circle crosses the real axis on right side.

Thus we see that traversing along the transmission line simply changes the phase of the reflection coefficient.
As we move away from the load and toward the source, we subtract phase from . On the Smith chart, we rotate clockwise (CW) around the constant VSWR circle by an amount 2l. A complete rotation corresponds to /2.

Impedance Transformationon the Smith chart
37
1. Plot the normalized load impedance on the Smith chart.2. Move clockwise around the middle of the Smith chart as we move away from the
load (toward generator). One rotation is /2 in the transmission line.3. The final point is the input impedance of the line.

Since the Smith chart repeats every 0.5, traversing 0.67 is the same as traversing 0.17.
Here we start at 0.145 on the Smith chart.
We traverse around the chart to 0.145 + 0.17 = 0.315.

Reflection at the load will be the same regardless of the length of line.
Therefore the VSWR will the same.
The input impedance must lie on the same VSWR plane.
