Clever idea! Standing on my head, peering at a Smith chart from that
perspective, did not much change my view of the R/Zo and jX/Zo circles.


You need to stand on your head _and_ use a mirror!

Otherwise, just flip the page over, top to bottom, and look at it
through the back side.

I agree the Smith Chart is a marvelous way to visualize what is
happening on a transmission line.


And a great engineering tool too.
