Re: At which point do we take the value of impedance to tune an antenna?
A lot of good discussion here, but I would like to answer the original question from Diane BONKOUNGOU: In my opinion you are not ready to match the antenna. You should bring the antenna to resonance

Re: At which point do we take the value of impedance to tune an antenna?
Hi, Jerry, You're right that the lowest SWR may not occur at resonance, whichever definition of resonance you use. For a particular combination of antenna and transmission line, 1:1 may not be

Re: At which point do we take the value of impedance to tune an antenna?
Maynard, True in this particular case. I was just trying to simplify matters. I guess I didn't do so well. My point is that the lowest SWR is NOT necessarily the resonant point. In fact, very few

Re: At which point do we take the value of impedance to tune an antenna?
VSWR is measured in voltage but the cause is the difference in impedance (if there is one) between two items - in this case the feedline and the antenna.

Re: At which point do we take the value of impedance to tune an antenna?
First of all, there is no SWR of 1:2. SWR is always X:1. And a 50 ohm cable feeding a 50 ohm load is by definition an SWR of 1:1.

For those that don't like strange download sites, the book is now on archive.org Give the page a couple of hours to populate all the options. The pdf is available now, in browser read later.

Re: Modify Original Nanovna for easy DFU mode like the H4

One remark regarding the -H versions: If you look at Hugen's schematics, you will see that R5 has the same value of 1 kOhm as for the -H4 version. Therefore Larry's modification can be simplified. No

Re: How find crystal filter terminaison resistor and capacitor
Thanks for this comment Gerard. I upgraded to from DiSlord 1.1 to DiSlord 1.2.00 on an H4.3 and it seems to work. I tried 300 ohm as Zo and it moved the 50 ohm load to the place it should be on a 300

Gerard, It looks like the latest H and H4 firmware from DiSlord also has the Port-Z rescaling. --John Gord
