1.2.40 strange displayed S11 Smith value
Hi all
something doesn't seem to be working very well, the most recent firmware 1.2.40 of DiSlord installed on SEESII H4, I really appreciated the characteristic impedance conversion function for SWR

Re: Measuring R,X Resonant Frequency

If you draw a band between 51,5 and 48,5 ohms over the graphic you will see that the sensibility of minimum SWR point is very high , then with coaxial impedance variations this frequency would

Re: Measuring R,X Resonant Frequency
As such, there is no R/X chart. Using the Smith Chart and the cursors, you
can read the R ¡À jX at the top of the screen at the frequency of the
cursor. The complex impedance can be expressed either

Re: NanoVNA H4 microSD Card
Please read my previous post. I upgraded the firmware and found it. I was just suggesting that the getting started guide needs updating. If you read this it does not mention the SD card.

Re: NanoVNA H4 microSD Card
You haven't look very hard. First, READ the WiKi on the groups files section.
Second look at past posts. This has been covered many times.
Third, there are several ebooks or hard copies available, for

Re: Measuring R,X Resonant Frequency
On the NanoVNA-H4 you have to plot R and X using a separate trace for each. However you can plot R and X on the same graph using RigExpert's AntScope 2 program which does interface to a NanoVNA-H4.

Re: Measuring R,X Resonant Frequency
Maximum power transfer occurs with a zero-ohm source.
Further, the impedance of the vast majority of good 50-ohm coaxial cable is
typically ¡À 3 %. Here is a quote for Amphenol RG-58U (from the

Re: Measuring R,X Resonant Frequency
This is the typical case if mixing concepts.Its very crear that the amplifiers don?t have a 50 ohm resistor inside , un less you live in a very cold place and need some extra heating¡ My idea were

Re: Measuring R,X Resonant Frequency
QUOTE (Jeff, G8HUL): Also with a 50ohm coax it will not be possible to
alter the length to achieve a 1:1 match.
Changing the length will just cause the observed impedance to travel around

Re: Measuring R,X Resonant Frequency
I think also there's a confusion engendered by the term "efficiency".
Is that the efficiency inside the Tx?
Or the "efficiency" of power transfer to the antenna (i.e. Pradiated/Psupplied)?

Re: Measuring R,X Resonant Frequency
You are right to ask yourself. There is one fundamental thing that you forget, that the TX -> line -> Antenna system is only adapted in one direction.

Re: NanoVNA H4 microSD Card
That has been discussed dozens of times before, just search the group.
Anyway what seems to be your problem? Saving of screenshots works out of the box
with any firmware released in the last 2 years

Re: Measuring R,X Resonant Frequency
At resonance the imaginary part of R ( reflection coefficient ) is null , see the attached picture. This is because Z1 is a real number. In this case 50 ohm. Its very common to see that the SWR
