Larry, this is basic electric circuit theory.? Any linear bilateral complex impedance can be expressed as an equivalent circuit of two components, a resistance and a reactance.? You can express them either as a series combination or as a parallel combination.? So all the parameters you mention are the results of that calculation.
A series combination is usually expressed as R + jX, and the R is called series R, or Rs.? And so on.? Read a basic ac circuits textbook to get full explanations.

Okay, I have a NanoVNA ordered and I have a VNWA.
I know the differences between X, R and Z.
What I do not understand is Xr, Xp, Rr, Rp, Zr, Zp, |Z| etc.
I know the r and p mean series and parallel but I do not understand how it
functions with single and two port connections.
What are the differences, what does it mean as far as connections and readings goes?
I need a Dummies Guide to these parameters, explaining differences and connection
examples, etc.
A reference to a book or webpage would be nice.
Thanks
