Re: 1.2.40 strange displayed S11 Smith value
Nizar,
In my other post I mentioned that the NanoVNA measures the actual impedance and gave several screenshots that were S1

Re: 1.2.40 strange displayed S11 Smith value
I¡¯m confused - does firmware version 1.2.40 display this properly or was
this corrected in the new beta version Roger mentioned?

Re: Measuring R,X Resonant Frequency
I did visit my local radio club last night (despite having a bad back) to view the said book, and frankly I was very disappointed. The section on measuring antenna was very short. I didn't learn

Re: 1.2.40 strange displayed S11 Smith value
Hi Dislord
Thanks for response, but wondering why S11 impeadance measurement seems to include also port2 input measurement what can explaine this strange displayed impedance of port2 , i assume

Re: 1.2.40 strange displayed S11 Smith value
Hi
Roger , i am agree with you , when setting 50ohm-->77.7ohm and measuring with S11 Smith function an external imp¨¦dance we have always the correct imp¨¦dance value displayed as expected no

Re: 1.2.40 strange displayed S11 Smith value
The impedance of port 2 is also recalculated to the specified value. And it is assumed that S22=S11, S12 = S21

Re: Measuring R,X Resonant Frequency
No. You can buy a paper version through the RSGB as I did because it was only ?2-3 more for the paper version and I find it¡¯s less hard on the eyes than it is on screens. I would assume that it

Re: 1.2.40 strange displayed S11 Smith value
The displayed impedance remains the same regardless of the system impedance setting if the firmware does the calculation correctly. See my earlier screenshots.

Re: 1.2.40 strange displayed S11 Smith value
I did not intend to change the measurement, only the displayed value. The
measurement is unchanged.

Re: 1.2.40 strange displayed S11 Smith value
The measured impedance will NOT change when you change the system impedance in the Menu. DiSlord has made some changes to the firmware since this function was introduced and I recall this made some

Re: 1.2.40 strange displayed S11 Smith value
This is incorrect. Changing the system impedance will NOT change the measured impedance value. It only changes metrics based on Zo like Smith Chart plot, Return Loss & SWR.

Re: 1.2.40 strange displayed S11 Smith value
In doing so, you have reassigned the center of the Smith Chart to 77.7
ohms. Therefore, even if your are measuring a matched 50-ohm resistor, it
will read 77.7-ohms. Set it to 200 ohms, and a 50-ohm

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

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.
