39 : The [LeastVNA] - Update 2
Hello, Allow us, please, to inform you that we revised and withdrawn the previous description of [LeastVNA] given at: 38 : Update - The [LeastVNA] - 9 October 2019 : /g/nanovna-users/message/4432 and then we modified and amplified it, as follows: - - - - - - (c) gin&pez@arg (cc-by-4.0) 2019 : start - - - - - - - From A Common User's Point Of View - An operating [LeastVNA] system: (1) Includes an internal or external device with at least one external connector, where the User connects a load (2) Has an internal or external cosinusoidal voltage generator working within an operating range of frequencies, briefly: "source", that produces a cosinusoidal voltage oscillation with frequency f, briefly: "signal", as its output towards to load (3) Produces, unavoidably, with its source, two cosinusoidal voltage waves in f, coexisting at least into the connector, as well as "far" beyond that, "elsewhere" internally, which are directed, with respect to the connector, as Input and Output waves, briefly: "waves", and named as the Reflected wave from the load and the Incident wave to the load, respectively (4) These coexisting waves manifest themselves locally in various places of their paths as two locally coexisting signals, resulting from these waves and identified by the amplitude and phase of these two coexisting waves, respectively (5) Separates, somewhere internally, these two coexisting waves and delivers to itself, at two special places internally, two separated signals r and i, identified by the amplitude and phase of these two separated waves at these special places, respectively, where these special places are always "far" away, but equidistantly, from the connector, having amplitudes and phases ( ar , pr ) and ( ai , pi ), respectively (6) Forms and measures a couple of values for the following two dimensionless quantities: ( amplitude ratio a, phase difference p ) , from these two separated signals r and i, as follows: ( a = ar/ai , p = pr - pi ) (7) Presents these two values a and p to the User as indications or readings, with a finite number of digits of course, which are obviously resulting from the presence of the connected load Finally, after all that said: (8) The User should expect that, in general, these two indications a and p of the internally separated signals r and i - once again : at special places "far" away from the connected load - may be quite different from the values A and P, which the User should except that they exist between the coexisting signals R and I on the connected load, resulting and identified respectively from the coexisting waves there, that is from the load connected there, which is finally the sole responsible of their appearance during the [LeastVNA] operation - the User has been warned - - - end : (c) gin&pez@arg (cc-by-4.0) 2019 - - - - - - - - - - Sincerely, gin&pez@arg 39 |
