Reviewing 2D Polar Plots

For a polar plot of S-parameters, Electronics Desktop displays in the lower-left corner the following derived information about the cursor’s location:


MP

The magnitude and phase of the point.

RX

The normalized resistance (R) and reactance (X).

GB

An alternate view of the normalized resistance and reactance in the form of

Normalized resistance and reactance equation.

where

  • G = conductance
  • B = susceptance

VSWR

The voltage standing wave ratio, calculated on the equation Voltage standing wave ratio..


A scale under the plot displays the scale of points along the R-axis.
