So, you're saying that the Smith chart is wrong?


The Smith Chart is a tool - a blank graph. How could it be wrong?
Like any tool, it has limitations and can be abused.


In that case I have no need of S11 or reflections or light. I only need
to know that the Smith chart tells me that a 200 ohm load looks like a
50 ohm load through a 1/4WL-100 ohm line. I made it as simple as
possible but no simpler.
