Sincere apologies for something I must have done wrong. Please help me to understand how I should have explained the problem is most prominent at higher frequencies, much more then the 0.1 ohm

Did you do a calculation over the total frequency range or only DC? The impedance mismatch was most prominent at higher frequencies due to SA602 input capacitance. Increasing R22 and R23 reduced this

ASSUMING the SA602 inputs are 1.5K each for a total of 3K my calculations come up with changing the 11 ohm 1% resistor with a 13.2 ohm 1% resistor from Digi-Key...?? 1 over 1/3000 + 1/91 + 1/115.2 =

If you pay attention, the Smith Chart display on the nanoVNA lacks all units on its axes. This is because this display is intended to see where the impedances are. For measuring, instead of read it on

I agree...? I'm just saying my calculator says the original circuit is closer... If I was to change anything I'd swap the 11-ohm resistor with an 8.97-ohm 1% and I'd have a 49.998 impedance... ? 73

4.2.1 is better because the input impedance of the SA602 (1.5kOhm//3pF per input) has less impact compared to 4.2 -- NanoVNA Wiki: /g/nanovna-users/wiki/home NanoVNA Files:

These calculated values are correct if, and only if, the actual resistor values are exactly as marked which they will not be. 73 John M0JBA

That's not what my calculator says... 4.2 circuit:91 ohms in parallel with 51+11+51 take 1/91 + 1/113 = 1/x and that comes to 50.4068 ohms... When I do that to circuit 4.2.1 I come up with 50.64
