Gago-Ribas, E., Complex Transmission Line Analysis Handbook, Vol. Maybe it is more convenient to use Z 0=Z t Smith chart for obtaining impedance transformation graphically without formulas (Smith chart center at Z t, not at 50 Ohm)įor deeper understanding of Smith chart I recommend to calculate impedance change for different line lengths using formulas, then calculate corresponding reflection coefficient Г (vector) for each case and draw it on a Smith chart.1. Why overlay the Smith chart scaled for ZT on top of the Z0 Smith

Maybe for emphasizing that it is not an arithmetic mean (Zout+Zin)/2.įormula for Zt is derived without using Smith chart. Why "ZT-line is the geometric mean of Zout and Zin." ? Rotation go through upper or lower half circle depending on particular values of Z out and quarterwave transformer line impedance Z t.

Cutting physical line length will result in counter-clockwise direction. On a Smith chart phase delay corresponds to clockwise rotation around some center depending on Zline(phase decreases clockwise). Traverse is across the upper half of a circle is because of adding physical line with length θ=90° delays reflection from Г(Z out) by 2*θ=180° (90° before reflection and 90° after reflection). Why traverse across the upper half circle ?
