Re: New owner of nanovna-H and H4, However pondering the next step in precision
Don't downplay the accuracy of the NANOVNAs. I have compared several offerings from the NANOVNAs with the HP 8753C with the associated S-Parameter test set using HP cal. standards. The agreement,

Re: At which point do we take the value of impedance to tune an antenna?
Arie, Thank you for posting your paper. I suggest that you correct the text below to state that this formula is only true when the reactance X is 0. I have seen on many occasions people thinking that

Re: At which point do we take the value of impedance to tune an antenna?
Thanks for the correction. I put these together quickly and should have proofread them for errors. Here are the corrected versions showing several complex impedance values that all result in an SWR of

Re: At which point do we take the value of impedance to tune an antenna?
Hi Russ, Lets put it simple without too many formulas. There has been a lot of math to come to the SWR formulas but we can think about it. The reflection coefficient is the percentage of reflected

You can certainly make a homemade short or open, but characterizing it accurately is another thing entirely. Without accurate characterization a standard is useless. 73, Don N2VGU

Re: New owner of nanovna-H and H4, However pondering the next step in precision
I am happy with my LibreVNA, but I also bought a better calibration kit than was provided. The quality of the kit and accuracy of the standards' characterization will directly affect the accuracy of

Re: New owner of nanovna-H and H4, However pondering the next step in precision
Oroot, At frequencies up to 1GHz or so, it is certainly practical to make your own Open, Short, and Load. Ideally, the three standards should be the same length, which becomes more critical at higher

On both charts, 25+j0 and 100+j0 need to be swapped. They are wrong as labeled.

Re: At which point do we take the value of impedance to tune an antenna?
Time is well spent learning a bit about the Smith Chart. You can plot a complex impedance and then draw a circle that intersects the point and get the SWR. You can also measure the distance and get
