SMITH CHART
OBJECTIVE:
The given code will plot the SMITH CHART of given appropriate data.
ABSTRACT:
The Smith chart was created by Phillip H. Smith in 1939. Its a graphical tool
designed for electrical engineers specializing in radio frequency (RF) to solve problems
related to transmission lines and matching circuits.
Use of the Smith chart has grown over the years and its still used today, not only as a
problem solving tool, but as a graphical display to show how RF parameters behave at
one or more frequencies.
The Smith chart can be used to represent many parameters including impedances,
admittances, reflection and transmission coefficients, scattering parameters...
Normalized scaling allows the Smith chart to be used for problems involving any
characteristic or system impedance which is represented by the center point of the
chart. The most commonly used normalization impedance is 50 ohms. Once an answer
is obtained through the graphical method, it is easy to convert between the
normalized impedance and the corresponding unnormalized value by multiplying by
the characteristic impedance. Reflection coefficients can be read directly from the
chart.
Use of the Smith chart and the meaning of the results obtained requires a good
understanding of AC circuits and transmission line theory, both of which are needed by
RF engineers.
In the chart, there are horizontal circles that represent constant resistances; vertical
circles represent constant reactances. The complex impedance (or admittance )is
normalized using a reference, which usually is the characteristic impedance Z0.
The chart is part of current CAD tools and modern measurement equipments. Its a
graphic of the reflection coefficient in polar coordinates.

SOURCE CODE:
function draw_smith_chart
% Draw outer circle
t = linspace(0, 2*pi, 100);
x = cos(t);
y = sin(t);
plot(x, y, 'linewidth', 3); axis equal;
% Place title and remove ticks from axes
title(' Smith Chart ')
set(gca,'xticklabel',{[]});
set(gca,'yticklabel',{[]});
hold on
% Draw circles along horizontal axis
k = [.25 .5 .75];
for i = 1 : length(k)
x(i,:) = k(i) + (1 - k(i)) * cos(t);
y(i,:) = (1 - k(i)) * sin(t);
plot(x(i,:), y(i,:), 'k')
end
% Draw partial circles along vertical axis
kt = [2.5 pi 3.79 4.22];
k = [.5 1 2 4];
for i = 1 : length(kt)
t = linspace(kt(i), 1.5*pi, 50);
a(i,:) = 1 + k(i) * cos(t);
b(i,:) = k(i) + k(i) * sin(t);
plot(a(i,:), b(i,:),'k:', a(i,:), -b(i,:),'k:' )
end
function [m, thd, SWR, rloss] = smith_ch_calc(Z0, Zl)
% Draw appropriate chart
draw_smith_chart
% Normalize given impedance
zl = Zl/Z0;
% Calculate reflection, magnitude and angle
g = (zl - 1)/(zl + 1);
m = abs(g);
th = angle(g);
% Plot appropriate point
polar(th, m, 'r*')
% Change radians to degrees
thd = th * 180/pi;
% Calculate VSWR and return loss.
% We can add epsilon to magnitude, to avoid div by 0 or log(0)
SWR = (1 + m)/(1 - m + eps);
rloss = -20 * log10(m + eps);
