S - Y Parameter conversion with Smith Chart
I see in Chris Bowick's book on RF circuit design, he provides 8 quite long-winded formulas for converting between S and Y parameters and vice-versa. I'm always prone to making careless errors (particularly with signs) with these kind of equations, so I was wondering if there's a simpler, graphical method for conversion using the Smith Chart. After all, that's what it was devised for - the elimination of computational errors in such calculations. I've tried using the vastly simpler rectangular/polar co-ordinate conversion formulas, but they don't plot correctly on the Smith Chart, it seems. So, does anyone know of a simple graphical way to do it on the SC? It is possible to design a nomograph for anything- but I'm not going to waste any time on your behalf because you're a low-life moron...-) |
