Let me know if you would like to see my results, will be glad to e-mail them as JPEGs. sure, my email address is valid, thank you very much. 73 Francesco IZ8DWF Francesco, I will be e-mailing my results for your interest. We seem to have arrived at the same conclusions. I think I understand where you are confused. Initially, starting at the center of the Smith Chart, the shunt open stub moves down, along the constant conductance circle (0.2S). At 0.175 WL at 70 MHz (0.25 WL at 98 MHz) - 62 cm, the input impedance is 10 - j 20 ohms. Next; the series section of transmission line moves clockwise along the 10 ohm resistance circle. At 0.125 WL (70 MHz) - 44 cm, the impedance reaches 10 + j 20. The final shunt section then moves the impedance to the center of the Smith Chart along the 0.2 S circle. 73, Frank (VE6CB) Hi Frank When describing the path on the Smith Chart from the "load" Z to the "rig" Z, you write "along the 10 ohm resistance circle". I would have refered to that circle as the circle of constant VSWR. Jerry KD6JDJ |

Hi Frank
When describing the path on the Smith Chart from the "load" Z to the "rig" Z, you write "along the 10 ohm resistance circle". I would have refered to that circle as the circle of constant VSWR. Jerry KD6JDJ Of course you are correct Jerry. I realized what I had done after I posted the comments. Frank, VE6CB |

Frank, VE6CB Hi Frank My reply was delayed because I had anticipated that someone might ask you for clarification on Smith Chart use. I was sure you'd clear up the confusion. I even thought I might learn something new. Smith Chart use is so valuable to my thinking that I just couldnt let this thread finish without checking in with you. Jerry KD6JDJ |
