Re: Dummy Antenna and FM Alignment
What I would do is use a NanoVNA to measure the impedance over 88-108 MHz right at the connector that plugs into the radio. Average the measurements for several cars. Then design a network that

Re: Dummy Antenna and FM Alignment
The high-Z coaxial cable is more for the AM portion of the radio. On AM frequencies, especially the European version, the "stinger" antenna is nothing but a capacitive probe. Consequently, it

Dummy Antenna and FM Alignment
Hey everyone, True beginner in RF here for a classic alignment question. Sorry if this is inappropriate or the wrong group, I'm not sure where to ask such question. I suppose the NanoVNA would be a

Re: NANO VNA H4 , Implausible measurement results?
If you used this BNC to Banana adapter, you are adding about 2 pF or so of shunt capacitance across the feed point of your test dipole. At 500 MHz for example, this is about Xc = 159 ohms. This

Re: Measurement correction for Zc Coax caracteristic Impedance
This chart shows the typical behaviour of a loosy coaxial cable over frequency. Basically there are two models , the low frequency model in this case the dielectric loose are very small then G tends

Re: Measurement correction for Zc Coax caracteristic Impedance
Hi With same coax, same method, same NanoVNA H4 (1.2.40 DiSlord) surprisingly i have some different Zc values for 50Mhz & 100Mhz 50Mhz ---> Zc = 49.0 Ohm 100Mhz ---> Zc = 43.5 Ohm 73's Nizar

Re: Measurement correction for Zc Coax caracteristic Impedance
An interesting chart. Note that below about 300 kHz, the imaginary component of the characteristic impedance can no longer be ignored and, if you are working on any cables at voice frequencies or

Re: Measurement correction for Zc Coax caracteristic Impedance
Hi Jim Lux "L , C & R exhibit some frequency-dependent variation; they do not have a perfectly flat response across frequency. This behavior depends on the dielectric material used, skin effect

Re: Measurement correction for Zc Coax caracteristic Impedance
Not unexpected Zc is sqrt( (R+jomegaL)/(G+jomegaC)) Mostly determined by L/C, but the R is in there too, and it goes up as frequency goes up, because of skin effect. For HF the dielectric loss (G) is

Re: Measurement correction for Zc Coax caracteristic Impedance
Hi Dave DiSlord coax function seems using Zc = 1/(4*fr*C0) , fr= is the first resonance frequency with open terminaison it's around 1.7Mhz measured by NANoVNA. C0 = capacitance value at lower

Re: Measurement correction for Zc Coax caracteristic Impedance
I wonder how the "short / open" method compares using Zc = SQRT [L / C] ? Of course, that will introduce losses due to theoretical infinite SWR. Dave - W?LEV [email protected]> wrote:
