Re: Order of calibrating
If the nano follows the HP network analyzers, it doesn't matter what the order is until after DONE is pushed.....even if you did one of the conditions over again.
Does it matter with the nano?

Re: Definition of resonance
Ed,
He is not seeing more "antenna resonances". The antenna is only resonant at 9 Mhz., 27 MHz. 45 Mhz. etc...
What he is seeing is the reactance at the input of the coaxial cable become 0 at

I think you may want:

0.8.0 allows Stop Freq up to 2.7GHz. On my unit, (NanoVNA-H V3.4) it is only useful up to 2GHz or so. Up to

Re: Animated GIF of reflections
Ahh, antenna voltage is exactly equal to Vsum.

I was not wrong, just a little bit thick headed.
Those are both real voltages

Re: Definition of resonance
Ed,
Looks to me like he really does have all those resonances at the transmitter end of his feed line.
An appropriate length of feedline will turn any arbitrary impedance into a pure resistance.

This is a correction to my first post. Unfortunately that simulation was not done in high accuracy mode so it did not correctly model the effect of ground so close to the antenna. The following

Re: Definition of resonance
Ok.
We all agree free space theoretical resonance would be something like 9.35 MHz.
We also agree closer to ground would lower fundamental resonance to something lower, like 9.125 or so.
But I have

Re: Definition of resonance
and one might want to disconnect "resonance" from "radiation efficiency" - a 10 meter long dipole (resonant at around 15 MHz) will efficiently *radiate* over a huge range of frequencies, probably

I recently bought the NanoVNA-H ver 3.4 and I have upgraded the firmware to the following release (https://github.com/hugen79/NanoVNA-H/releases/tag/0.4.5-4) to allow it to measure beyond 900 MHz.

Re: Definition of resonance
You have the impedance looking into the feedline from the transmitter end, but now you are asking what the antenna is doing.
An arbitrary amount of feedline will rotate a point on the smith chart

Jim Lux, as usual, did a very credible explanation of what is going on -
far better than I could! Second order differential equations are the key
to understanding.
