Hi Roger et al,
I am not about to admit to how many of those misconceptions I have fallen for .... publicly .... :)
I have been 'safe' in the analogue, low frequency, ideal component electronic world for awhile, but kept bumping into non-ideal component problems. I purchased my nanoVNA primarily as a challenge to that environment. It, and this Group, have been great teachers. Thanks.
Re: your Freq Phase S11 graph ... can you elaborate please? ....
* The Commentary refers to a misconception around S Parameters and Impedance phase ... is the distinction here Reflection co-efficient Gamma phase => Incident and Reflected voltages .. versus .. Impedance phase => Voltage and Current .... ???
* Can you describe the 'drivers' of the 3 key points to this graph ie 0 deg, -145deg, and +/-180deg?? 360deg rotation at self resonance??
I am unsure as to how many more 'nanoTraps' I have yet to climb out of .... :)
