drawing smith charts
Greetings;
One of the things I occasionally do is service my local AM radio station
when its off the air. This includes trying to keep the VSWR under
control.
I have a redpitaya Vector Network Analyser that I use to tune the tower,
and it gives me the tuning state in the form of a smith chart. But while
it claims to run with a linux system as the display, it doesn't, so I
had to buy a cheap all-in-one with win 10 home edition on it. Works
great but is a pita to setup and get started. The windows driver is also
about 50x the size of the linux driver that doesn't work.
What can I install to a buster machine that might make this graphical
display work? We had, a decade back, a something or other "plot" that
might have been able to draw a smith chart but I haven't seen it in the
repos recently. It also was a square plotter, whereas the smith chart is
circular at its maximum error limits.
Can anyone suggest a linux substitute?
Cheers, Gene Heskett.
