tool to generate Smith Charts

Description

A Smith chart is a tool used in electrical engineering that shows how the complex impedance of a transmission line varies along its length, and simplifies the design of impedance matching networks to match the line to its load.

linSmith is a Smith Charting program, mainly designed for educational use. As such, there is an emphasis on capabilities that improve the 'showing the effect of'-style of operation.

Its main features are:

* Definition of multiple load impedances (at different frequencies)

* Addition of discrete (L, C, parallel and series LC, and transformer)

and line components (open and closed stubs, line segments)

* Connection in series and parallel

* Easy experimentation with values using scrollbars

* A 'virtual' component switches from impedance to admittance to help

explaining (or understanding) parallel components

* The chart works in real impedances (not normalized ones)

* Direct view of the result on the screen

* Ability to generate publication quality Postscript output

* A 'log' file with textual results at each intermediate step

* Load and circuit configuration is stored separately, permitting several

solutions without re-defining the other
