SWR and VSWR
OK, for the youngsters in the group a bit of history. It's over 100 years ago.Coax has not been invented yet.There are no SWR metersThere are no VNA's.? ?(Well, an RF Bridge and a lot of math will

VSWR Voltage Standing Wave Ratio The cause is the impedance mismatch. The measurement is in volts.??? Kent

Re: At which point do we take the value of impedance to tune an antenna?
So, you are saying that VSWR is based on voltage, but caused by an impedance mismatch.

Re: At which point do we take the value of impedance to tune an antenna?
It's not just US broadcasting stations that are like that, in France too. I did part of my out-of-school internship at a station that was broadcasting 300 kW on 600 kHz 150kW on 890kHz All in AM,

Re: At which point do we take the value of impedance to tune an antenna?
You are all missing the message, Resonance has no effect on antenna performance so it¡¯s not a concern if an antenna is resonant or not. I don¡¯t think I ever saw an US AM broadcast antenna that was

Re: At which point do we take the value of impedance to tune an antenna?
I thought, at one time, that by not using the antenna at resonance (zero reactive) the bandwidth of the antenna would be widened. After adaptation (filter in 'L'), I note, by calculation, that it is

Re: At which point do we take the value of impedance to tune an antenna?
What one wants to avoid (with some transmitters) is too much reactive component - sure, you can cancel it with a passive component, but that component will have some loss AND the required value

Re: At which point do we take the value of impedance to tune an antenna?
Many collinear arrays are also high-Z. That quoted statement from ARRL is a gross over simplification! Dipoles, Yagis, yes. But there are many common radiating structures that do not offer low-Z to

Thanks, but still a problem. Wouldn¡¯t download with Chrome, but as advised I used Edge. Initially said it wouldn¡¯t download because of malware risk, but ignored that and downloaded. When clicked

Re: NanoVNA_H4 4.3_MS schematics
You should be drawing current when the NanoVNA is off if the battery needs charging. The battery has a protection circuit in it to prevent over and undercharge. Perhaps that has failed. You can see it

From ARRL antenna book many editions: Resonance has no effect on antenna performance. The only reason amateurs like to operate an antenna at or NEAR resonance is because the feed point impedance is
