HP 42S DM42 Smith Chart Conversions
Smith Conversions
Introduction
The program SMITH brings generates a custom menu that allows the user to convert between four factors:
RL: return loss
p: reflection coefficient
s: voltage standing ratio
SWR: standing wave ratio
p = 10^-(RL/20)
s = (1 + p)(1 - p)
SWR = 20 * log s

Conversions Between Complex Reflection Coefficient and Impedance
It is recommended that you set the calculator to Degree and Polar modes. To enter complex numbers in polar mode,
Z→R: Convert from impedance to complex reflection coefficient
Stack: Z, Z0 (characteristic impedance)
Γ = (Z/Z0 - 1) / (Z/Z0 + 1)
R→Z: Convert from complex reflection coefficient to impedance
Stack: Z0, Γ
Z = Z0 * (1 + Γ) / (1 - Γ)

Example 3
What is the impedance of a system with a reflection coefficient of 0.86∠50° with a resistor of 125 Ω?
(Degree and Polar Mode)
125 [ENTER] 0.86 [ENTER] 50 [(shift)] (COMPLEX)
[XEQ] ( R→Z )
Result: 246.80096 ∠ 78.82055°
