smithchart - Plot complex vector on Smith chart

Syntax

[lineseries,hsm] = smithchart(y)
hsm = smithchart

Description

[lineseries,hsm] = smithchart(y) plots the complex vector y on a Smith chart and returns

• hsm, which is the handle of the Smith chart object.

  Change the properties of the chart by changing the smithchart object properties described in the next section.

• lineseries, which is a column vector of handles to lineseries objects, one handle per plotted line.

  Change the properties of the plotted lines by changing the lineseries properties.

hsm = smithchart draws a blank Smith chart and returns the handle hsm of the Smith chart object.

Note   To plot multiple sets of data on a Smith chart, use the following syntax: [lineseries1,hsm] = smithchart(y) hold on lineseries2 = smithchart(z) You can use change the properties of the lines, lineseries1 and lineseries2, and of the properties of the chart, hsm.

Note   To plot network parameters from a circuit (rfckt) or data (rfdata) object on a Smith chart, use the smith function.

Properties

smithchart creates the plot using default property values of a Smith chart. Use set(h,'PropertyName1',PropertyValue1,...) to change the property values. Use get(h) to get the property values.

This table lists all properties you can specify for smithchart objects along with units, valid values, and a descriptions of their use.
