Re: Testing X polarity Antenna switch
Hi Dave Thanks for the input. Yes you are correct, this switch does have both "antennas" configured as an X and they are both always connected. The switch is based on the work of I8CVS. I should have

Re: look what I found at Goodwill
I was an organic chemistry major and graduated with my BS in the late-60s long before electronic calculators. (We had honking-big Marchant mechanical calculators in a room somewhere in the building

Re: Testing X polarity Antenna switch
So this switch actually has BOTH antennas connected ALL the time for ALL modes, so the nominal 3 dB loss from the input to each antenna is present at all times. Be sure to terminate the antenna

Re: Testing X polarity Antenna switch
This unit takes a single feedline from the Tx/Rx to two antenna ports. In linear pol, it should be a straight feed through one of the two antenna ports, with the other port terminated (or open, I

Testing X polarity Antenna switch
I recently finished building some Sat antenna polarity switches. (2M and 70CM) They switch between Horz, Vert, RH or LH polarization.

Re: SWR and VSWR
Yes, that is the application of SWR circles on the Smith Chart. For example, any combination of R and ¡ÀjX so long as it lies on that 2:1 circle (real radius intersects at 25 and 100-ohms), the SWR /

Re: SWR and VSWR
Addition to my previous post: Whether you display the results on a Smith chart, or a standard XY chart, or a table, or whatever, doesn't matter at all! What matters is what you are displaying: SWR, or

Re: SWR and VSWR
SWR measurement can be done at any point of the line, even over a wide frequency range, and will be correct except for effects produced by line loss. The impedance instead will vary according to line

Well, here is mine! Complete with plastic case, original cardboard packing, and instruction manual! Replaced in 1982 by a Sharp EL-507 scientific calculator, which I still use... Manfred, XQ6FOD

Re: look what I found at Goodwill
All I remember is any good math teacher had a massive K&E slide rule hanging from the ceiling in the class room. More functions on it than most of us ever used at least in undergrad work. And then in

What kind of battery does it use, and where do you put it in? I hope they took the battery out years ago or it will be all corroded. Ha! Wish I had kept mine but being a poor student needed cash all

Re: SWR and VSWR
It's true for the SWR This is true at a fixed frequency but the nanaoVNA works at a variable frequency; it follows that the shape on the Smith is not the same over the length of the coaxial. It comes

Re: SWR and VSWR
Good, now take a current probe and do the same and you will get and ISWR. They are reciprocals. Once upon a time there was a myth that you must measure your antennas swr at the feedpoint. Not so. In a

Re: At which point do we take the value of impedance to tune an antenna?
Z(Source) has nothing to do with the case. Many are convinced and peddle the idea that, for there to be adaptation, the source must have an internal impedance equal to the characteristic impedance.
