Will Eagleware's Genesys graph in rectangular form in the linear simulator??

Hmm? A Smith chart is a polar plot (of reflection coefficient or whatever). Are you saying you have an impedance that you're like to plot on a Smith chart? In that case the simplest thing is to probably covert your impedances to reflection coefficients ( (Zl-R0)/(Zl+R0), where R0 is your reference resistance) and tell Genesys to plot that. You can do this in the "equations" window on a single line by creating a new variable equal to the preceding formula, substituting the name of your dataset for Zl.

Thanks Joel -- much appreciated. (It's easier for me to view R-/+J than polar).

Perhaps you'd prefer to just graph R+jX using a pair of rectangular graphs instead of a Smith chart?

Let me know if you can't get this working... I'm back at work now and the software is here...

Thanks Joel; that would be really perfect for me if I could plot R+jX using the rectangular graphs!
