The current and the EM wave have different characteristics. An EM wave
propagates into different dielectric media, the partial reflection and the partial
transmission will occur. And it obeys the following rules.

Several salient properties of the r-circles:
1. The centers of all r-circles lie on the Γ r -axis.
2. The r=0 circle, having a unity radius and centered at the origin, is the largest.
3. The r-circles become progressively smaller as r increases from 0 toward ∞,
ending at the (Γ r =1, Γ i =0) point for open-circuit.
4. All r-circles pass through the (Γ r =1, Γ i =0) point.
Salient properties of the x-circles:
1. The centers of all x-circles lie on the Γ r =1 line, those for x>0 (inductive reactance)
lie above the Γ r –axis, and those for x<0 (capacitive reactance) lie below the
Γ r –axis.
2. The x=0 circle becomes the Γ r –axis.
3. The x-circle becomes progressively smaller as |x| increases from 0 toward ∞,
ending at the (Γ r =1, Γ i =0) point for open-circuit.
4. All x-circles pass through the (Γ r =1, Γ i =0) point.
Summary
1. All |Γ|–circles are centered at the origin, and their radii vary uniformly from 0 to
1.
2. The angle, measured from the positive real axis, of the line drawn from the origin
through the point representing z L equals θ Γ .
3. The value of the r-circle passing through the intersection of the |Γ|–circle and the
positive-real axis equals the standing-wave radio S.

1. Enter the Smith chart at the intersection of r=0 and x=0 (point Psc on the
extreme left of chart; see Fig.)
2. Move along the perimeter of the chart (   1) by 0.1 “wavelengths toward
generator’’ in a clockwise direction to P 1 .
At P 1 , read r=0 and x  0.725 , or z i  j 0.725 , Z i  50( j 0.725)  j 36.3() .
Eg. A lossless transmission line of length 0.434λ and characteristic impedance
100Ω is terminated in an impedance 260+j180(Ω). Find (a) the voltage reflection
coefficient, (b) the standing-wave radio, (c) the input impedance, and (d) the
location of a voltage maximum on the line.
(Sol.) (a) Given l=0.434λ, R 0 =100Ω, Z L =260+j180
1. Enter the Smith chart at z L =Z L /R 0 =2.6+j1.8 (point P 2 in Fig.)
2. With the center at the origin, draw a circle of radius OP 2    0.60 .
( OP sc =1)
3. Draw the straight line OP2 and extend it to P 2 ’ on the periphery. Read
0.22 on “wavelengths toward generator” scale.   = 21 ,
   e j   0.6021 .
(b) The   0.60 circle intersects with the positive-real axis OPoc at r=S=4.
(c) To find the input impedance:
1. Move P 2 ’ at 0.220 by a total of 0.434 “wavelengths toward generator,” first to
0.500 and then further to 0.154 to P 3 ’.
2. Join O and P 3 ’ by a straight line which intersects the   0.60 circle at P 3 .
3. Read r=0.69 and x=1.2 at P 3 . Z i  R0 z i  100(0.69  j1.2)  69  j120() .
(d) In going from P 2 to P 3 , the   0.60 circle intersects the positive-real axis
OPoc at P M , where the voltage is a maximum. Thus a voltage maximum
appears at (0.250-0.220)  or 0.030  from the load.

Eg. Find the input admittance of an open-circuited line of characteristic
impedance 300Ω and length 0.04λ.
(Sol.) 1. For an open-circuited line we start from the point P oc on the extreme right of
the impedance Smith chart, at 0.25 in Fig.
2. Move along the perimeter of the chart by 0.04 “wavelengths toward generator” to
P 3 (at 0.29).

Application of Smith Chart in single-stub matching:
Yi  YB  YS  Y0 

 1  y B  y S , where y B =R 0 Y B , y s =R 0 Y s
R0
∵ 1+jb s = y B , ∴ y s =-jb s and l B is required to cancel the imaginary part.
Using the Smith chart as an admittance chart, we proceed as y L follows for
single-stub matching:
1. Enter the point representing the normalized load admittance.
2. Draw the |Γ|-circle for y L , which will intersect the g=1 circle at two points. At
these points, y B1 =1+jb B1 and y B2 =1+jb B2 . Both are possible solutions.
3. Determine load-section lengths d 1 and d 2 from the angles between the point
representing y L and the points representing y B1 and y B2 .
Determine stub length l B1 and l B2 from the angles between the short-circuit point on
the extreme right of the chart to the points representing –jb B1 and –jb B2 , respectively.
Eg. Single-Stub Matching:
Eg. A 50Ω transmission line is connected to a load impedance Z L = 35-j47.5(Ω).
Find the position and length of a short-circuited stub required to match the line.
(Sol.) Given R0  50() , Z L  35  j 47.5() , z L  Z L / R0  0.70  j 0.95
1. Enter z L on the Smith chart as P1 . Draw a  –circle centered at O with radius
OP1 .
2. Draw a straight line from P1 through O to P ' 2 on the perimeter, intersecting the  –circle at
P2 , which represents y L . Note 0.109 at P' 2 on the “wavelengths toward generator” scale.
3. Two points of intersection of the  –circle with the g=1 circle.
