According to Eq.1, each reflection coefficient must also represent
a complex impedance Z, or according to Eq.3 a complex
normalized impedance z.

For example:
For a given load impedance consisting of a serie R – L
-network the value of L changes by a certain value.
How does it affect the reflection coefficient (or VSWR)?

as with the impedance plane
we get circles for constant Admittance plane
