Smith Chart Visualization

In the RF and Microwave space, we often plot VSWR and Phase data on a Smith Chart. This type of visualization is not available in Spotfire and we would like to see it added.

      An early prototype of a smith chart exists in the prototypes section of the Spotfire Mods GitHub repository. It would be interesting to hear about any features that you would expect of a Smith chart.

      The prototype uses a categorical axis for points and uses two continuous axes to represent the real and imaginary part. The points can also be colored via a color axis.

      Niklas - yes that is the chart type we are looking for. Attached are some examples of our current plots via another tool.
