The resistance and reactance values in a Smith chart are normalized so the standard resistance has a value of 1. This makes the chart usable for any impedance of transmission line. Since the broadcast ...

The remaining curves are parts of circles representing reactance ... must be matched to a 100-Ω transmission line (Fig. 5, again) using these steps: 6. The chart illustrates the solution to ...

We are specifically and deliberately going to do without the Smith chart today and look at some transmission line properties ... a load L of 0 Ω of reactance, and an idealized lossless line model with ...
