Rubbish, they tell you nothing more than the impedance at the point
that you wish to plot it. They tell you nothing about how well an

resistive (parasitic elements neglected) but won't radiate well. Also an
antenna does not have to resonant to radiate well or have high
efficiency.

Keep thinking that, Jeff, while those who know how to use Smith Charts
continue to design antennas.

Your ignorance is underwhelming.


Well Jerry, please help me increase my knowledge. Please tell me now to
show what "goes on *inside* a bit of coax" on a Smith chart, or how to
show the efficiency of an antenna from a Smith chart.

I'll tell you what, troll. You go to college. Get a EE degree. Learn
the math and the theory. Them maybe you can understand basics and we
can discuss the subject intelligently (although I doubt it).

Usenet is not the place to try to teach you four years of math, physics
and electronics.
