Measuring Admittance.
To change the display to an inverse Smith chart graticule and the marker information to
read admittance, press G+
j
B MKR.
As shown in Figure 2-16, the marker reads admittance data in the form G+jB, where G is
conductance and B is susceptance, both measured in units of Siemens (equivalent to mhos:
the inverse of ohms). Also shown is the equivalent parallel capacitance or inductance.
