Hello all...
I have a dipole that I ran a sweep on with NanoVNA Saver, and a NanoVNA-H. When looking at the complex impedance at the closest point to resonance ('0' reactance), I get numbers like

56.3-j697m ohms (no 'ohm' symbol on my laptop).

What does the 'm' mean? I'm assuming that means the reactance part is very close to '0'. Is that correct, or am I all wrong?

Thank you for your time.

"m" simply means "milli". I.e., 56.3 - j*0.697 ohms.

Thank you very much Christian. That was what I suspected, but wanted confirmation.

milli. so it's 0.697 ohms.

I believe the m stands for milli (1/1000).

milli.? so it's 0.697 ohms.

Lower case indicates "milli" or 1E-3. So, your reading of -j667m means
-j667 milliohms or -j0.667 ohms. This is known as scientific notation or,
more specifically, engineering notation, engineering being powers of 10
modulo 3.

Also note that M indicated "mega or 1E+6.

I wish my dipole had those numbers ! Just out of curiosity, what freq. is ur dipole cut for ?
