Re: impedance test of a TV antenna, How do I adjust 50 ohm to 75 ohm
Depends on what you call error.? If the transformer is part of the VNA (i.e. you do the cal at the DUT end of the transformer) any effects of the transformer are rolled into the calibration. If the

Re: impedance test of a TV antenna, How do I adjust 50 ohm to 75 ohm
I would think that using a transformer to match impedence would introduce even more error: nano - transformer - antenna. That is a question and not a declaration. Thanks, larry

Re: impedance test of a TV antenna, How do I adjust 50 ohm to 75 ohm
I use a Mini-Circuits FT-1.5-232+. They are a bit expensive. Most TV antennas don't have that great a VSWR. Also common for TV antennas to uses a 75 to 300 ohm balun which makes things worse. Attached

Re: impedance test of a TV antenna, How do I adjust 50 ohm to 75 ohm
Here's the display from 10KHz to 610Mhz (I think) of a 75 ohm resistor after my DIY 50 ohm to 75 ohm matching pad.

Re: impedance test of a TV antenna, How do I adjust 50 ohm to 75 ohm
Hi guys, The OP here. After watching the video on use of the 50 to 75 ohm adapters I decided I'd try to build one. I think I did good... almost! As you may recall I'm working with TV antennas my

Don't forget the TinySA, you probably need one of those to. I paid somewhere around $50-$60 for mine. It's another great tool to have around. Max KG4PID
