Re: impedance test of a TV antenna, How do I adjust 50 ohm to 75 ohm
Hello John, I have made a web page with a English translation of the ojisan web page, see: https://www.rudiswiki.de/wiki9/nanoVNA-V2-ojisanFirmware I have also compiled a version to allowv a screensho

Re: impedance test of a TV antenna, How do I adjust 50 ohm to 75 ohm
The Ojisan firmware for the V2 allows re-normalization of the Smith chart, Return Loss, and VSWR to arbitrary real reference impedances. The calibration is still done with a 50 ohm load, but the

Re: impedance test of a TV antenna, How do I adjust 50 ohm to 75 ohm
You would need a 75 ohm terminator at the input of the VNA. John

Re: impedance test of a TV antenna, How do I adjust 50 ohm to 75 ohm
The current NanoVNA-F, NanoVNA-H and NanoVNA-H4 firmware do not have this feature in the menu. I don't own any V2 products so I can't comment on them. Roger

Re: impedance test of a TV antenna, How do I adjust 50 ohm to 75 ohm
If you are only interested in measuring the impedance of the antenna, then just use the 50 ohm cal kit on the end of the 50 ohm coax. The cal kit will remove the effects of the cable. Just be aware

Re: impedance test of a TV antenna, How do I adjust 50 ohm to 75 ohm
Calibrating a NanoVNA using a 75 ohm load instead of 50 ohms does NOT make the NanoVNA into a 75 ohm test instrument. Some VNA do allow you to set the system impedance to other than 50 ohms. The

Re: impedance test of a TV antenna, How do I adjust 50 ohm to 75 ohm
Gert, I have to correct a misconception there. Half turns, or quarter turns, do not exist! Two-hole cores do NOT allow making half turns. At least not in the magnetic sense. Two-hole cores behave very

Re: impedance test of a TV antenna, How do I adjust 50 ohm to 75 ohm
Good information in this thread.? But you might want to think about how badly you want to correct the SWR of 1.5 introduced by the 75 ohm line.? You can calculate the improvement you can achieve,

Re: Measuring 49:1 ferrite transformers
I take it back... Nothing magic about bifilar. Best is a soldered tap to the desired wire. Next best is a twisted wire loop tap. Third best is bifilar and worst is two separate windings. This assumes

Pete, I've modeled with 4NEC2 an end-fed wire with various source impedances and counterpoise lengths. The 2450 ohm source impedance seems close to optimum. You have to choose some step-up ratio. Once
