I would like to request anyone interested to link any other smith chart matching tools so that maybe we can create some sort of overview of available materials. Otherwise its allows for dragging points on a smith chart but is a bit clunky in selecting and editing components in its tables. It offers the unique advantage of allowing to see the result of matching multiple frequency points at once, instead of only showing input/output sweeps over a frequency range. I haven't used them extensively but they seemed to have extremely clunky UI and werent very user friendly. Usefull as its interactive smith chart automaticly shows the steps for real component values, the demo version is free but limited to only 5 componentsīig expensive commercial software suites, both ADS and Microwave Office have their own smith tools. A 50-22 lossless transmission line has SWR 3.0, 6.

the Iowa Hills tool, its website appears to be down, however there is a github now? link This is widely recommended as well as SimSmith Question: Use your own Smith chart if needed give numbers only if online uploading is difficult.

Matching Type 1 impedance: r 1, x any value. Add the second lossless element to tune out the remaining imaginary part, reactance or susceptance, so the resultant impedance or admittance is a real number 1 ( or ). Decent tool, noteable is the large amount of available components and simplicity in importing custom s2p files Add a lossless element, capacitor or inductor, to get the real part of either impedance or admittance to be 1.

Looking through the subreddit I have found some recomendations for the most common ones but I recently came across a new one with some interesting features (point 5). Over the last couple of years I have been using various smith chart tools/apps, each of which have been lacking in one way or another.
