Description
Draw the resistance circle in 3D. Points that lie on the same rCircle have the same resistance. VAlue = resistance value ; Z = z position (TeeChart zpos); ShowLabel = show resistance label.
This method is used to draw the constant resistance circles on the Smith series.
The Smith chart consists of a series of circles within a unit circle, all sharing a common tangent point at a 0 degree angle. Each circle represents a constant normalized load resistance, with r=0 for points on the unit circle, and r>0 for points on the circles contained by the unit circle. As radius of curvature decreases for these circles, the constant resistance represented by a given circle increases.
