Extremely generalized planar Smith chart based on Möbius transformations

In this article, extremely generalized planar Smith chart (EGPSC) is proposed based on Mőbius transformations (MTs). And the rigid mathematical circles equations of this proposed EGPSC are obtained. The EGPSC includes omnipotent Smith chart (OSC) and other different kinds of generalized Smith charts which have been reported recently. Finally, according to the rigid mathematical equations, the corresponding characteristics of EGPSC are comprehensively analyzed and illustrated through numerical simulations. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
