Abstract :
FOR RADIO-FREQUENCY transmission lines the Smith chart is often employed in making impedance calculations. In some cases the standing-wave ratio is very high and the resistance cannot be read accurately on the chart. Means are shown herein for computing the resistance, while the chart is used for reactance.
