Smith chart

Smith chart inspection and RF matching

Use Smith chart views to inspect impedance trajectories, S-parameter behavior, return loss, matching targets, and component tuning effects.

Schematic

Capture, ports, labels, reusable sheets, and touch-friendly editing.

Plots

Waveforms, measurements, markers, RF traces, and tuning feedback.

RF

S-parameters, return loss, insertion loss, Smith chart, gain, and stability.

Tuner

Tune components and compare response changes without leaving the workspace.

Make impedance movement visible

A Smith chart helps turn complex reflection data into a visual tuning path.

  • Plot S11 and S22 movement
  • Inspect frequency markers
  • Compare matching changes
  • Keep Smith and rectangular plots connected

Designed for tuning, not decoration

The Smith chart is part of the measurement workflow, not a standalone calculator isolated from the circuit.

  • Start from the RF workspace
  • Use target-frequency markers
  • Tune component values
  • Compare response changes
