Frequency-Dependent Smith-Chart Model as Applied to Integrated Circuit Package Antenna Design

An Interactive Smith Chart

Smith is an instructional, interactive, menu driven program that offers the use of Smith Chart on a personal computer. Using the Smith Chart is greatly simplified by providing the user with a “tracking mode” in which the cursor is tracked, showing the normalized resistance and reactance as well as distances from source and load. Also, construction lines such as radius, diameter and circles can ...
