What is the purpose of a Smith chart?

• To calculate the frequency of a signal

• To measure the resistance of a circuit

• To visualize the behavior of transmission lines

When the X is zero, the circle becomes a straight line along the real axis. All the circles touch the point---

• (1,0)

• (0,1)

• (0,0)

When X is negative, the circle lies---- the real axis

• above

• below

• centre

Smith chart is based on two sets of orthogonal circles they are

• impedance and inductance circle

• Resistance and reactance circle

• capacitive and conductive circle

What is the characteristic impedance of a transmission line represented as on a Smith chart?

• A point on the x-axis

• A point on the y-axis

• A point on the unit circle

How does the Smith chart help in matching impedances

• By allowing the user to find the location of the load impedance

• By providing a graphical representation of the impedance transformation

• By showing the distance between the load impedance and the characteristic impedance

What is an advantage of using a Smith chart to analyze transmission lines compared to using a purely numerical method?

• he Smith chart can handle only purely resistive loads

• The Smith chart is less accurate

• The Smith chart provides a graphical representation that makes it easier to understand the behavior of transmission lines

In circle diagram the impedance is represented in a

• Circular form

• Square form

• Rectangular form

When X is ---, the circle becomes a straight line along the real axis

• Zero

• one

• negative

In Smith chart the impedance is represented in

• Rectangular form

• polar form

• Linear form
