Why the smith loci of microstrip antenna is rotated when you change the length of the microstrip feedline?
 

it has to be rotated if your impedance is not exactly as the impedance of the feeding line because the input impedance of a mismatched load is dependent on the feeding line length.

Zin(f) = Z0 *(Zl(f) + i*z0*tan(bl)) / (Z0 + i*Zl(f)*tan(bl))

I mean what make the smith loci rotate? what the effect that make the loci to be rotate?
 

Re: Why the smith loci of microstrip antenna is rotated when

Rotation corresponds to phaseshift, which seems logical to me when you increase feedline length.

But I am a novice on transmission lines, so don't take this for true blindly :)
