UTILITIES

Smith Chart

  • This is a Smith chart in postscript language. You may print it as it is, or download, save, and edit this file to put your name, title, etc, and then print it out. (Open this file with a text editor(e.g., Notepad) and edit the last few lines per the instructions.)
  • If you prefer, you may also use this "Admittance Chart". This one is in coarser scale, though. Those with no postscript viewer or printer may use Smith Chart GIF File or Smith Chart PDF file.
    • Power/dB Handout
