Re: SMITH CHART REACTANCE LINES.
I much prefer the +/-j ! ! ! ! But, the HP 8753C displays both. I still prefer to know where I am on the Smith Chart. Dave - W?LEV -- *Dave - W?LEV* *Just Let Darwin Work* *Just Think*

Re: SMITH CHART REACTANCE LINES.
I play with RF as a hobby, but seeing something like 50ohms +22uF looks quite odd, whatever the frequency is. It is like there is large capacitor somewhere, when there isn't of course..

Re: A Capsule Summary of Nonfictional VNA Measurements - ERRATUM
Instead of the wrong: G = S(L-O)(gs+lo) + L(O-S)(gl+os) + O(S-L)(go+sl) / / [ (L-O)(gs+lo) + (O-S)(gl+os) + (S-L)(go+sl) ] the correct one: G = [ S(L-O)(gs+lo) + L(O-S)(gl+os) + O(S-L)(go+sl) ] / / [
