For anyone interested in this topic I received a link from Markus, HB9BRJ that explains what is going on. indico.cern.ch/event/216963/sessions/35851/attachments/347577/484626/C1-Smith_Chart_Aarhus_CAS_2010_caspers_version_20_September_2010.pdf Larry, W0QE

Thanks for sharing that pdf - probably one of the clearest textual explanations of the Smiths Chart I've come across... the fog is slowly lifting - cheers! :)

Glad that I was able to help. Larry

The symmetry of the four trace overlays at about time 4:30 is just so, so cool. And that's on top of the "a circle is a circle is a circle" coolness. Thanks so much for the demonstration. Dan, AC6LA

Very fun to be looking at this from a math and topology background -- circles staying the same makes intuitive sense when you think about how the Smith chart is a distortion of a normal grid!

Really cool. This will be fun when we get back to tuning PAs and plotting small signal probe data.

Wow! That's just awesome to learn - thank you for doing the video, much appreciated!! SimSmith just gets better!

Absolutely fascinating. What a great tool. It is going to take some time to wrap my head around this. Thanks, Ron K7RJ

Wow! What a surprise! Need a math expert to explore this!

Again a great video. I'm sorry that I repeat myself.
