Re: Read polar impedance (Ohms and phase) directly?
Please can you explain me where is my mistake; I am like Saint Thomas. Here is the digital test data (my antenna) S11 = -0,310484238 +j 0,011489099 Zo = 50 With the formula Z = Zo * (1+gamma) /

Re: Read polar impedance (Ohms and phase) directly?
I can do the math.... I taught electronics including L - R- C circuits and conversions for 17 years. I was just looking for a quick way to find them on the Nano. And |Z| was my main interest. Although

Re: Read polar impedance (Ohms and phase) directly?
The S1P files contains the real and imaginary parts of the reflection coefficient, Greek letter ¡®gamma¡¯. The complex impedance Z is given by Zo * (1+gamma) / (1-gamma)

Re: Read polar impedance (Ohms and phase) directly?
You could just post a sample excel file.. (of maybe the first 10 lines of a S1P). That's what I've done.

Re: |S11| > 1
Interesting discussion. I used to work for HP. Later sold Cascade probe stations. Calibration was always "difficult". Especially on wafer: how far do you overdrive (i.e. press the probe down), how

Re: Where to buy Genuine Nanovna
Hi Wayne, Mark at QSL Communications sells several VNAs including the Hugen NanoVNA-H and the Deepelec NanoVNA-F (now DeepVNA-101). https://www.qslcomms.shop/ This is the VNA page

Re: Read polar impedance (Ohms and phase) directly?
Admitting that it is of interest to examine the phase of the impedance, it is indeed necessary to start from the Touchstone S11 file (.s1p). It is an ASCII file where you find, on each line: the

Re: |S11| > 1
I've written a Windows utility that checks Touchstone files for |S11| > 1. It handles version 1.1 files, the kind NanoVNAs generate, as well as version 2.0. It lists maximum |S11| and the number of

Re: Read polar impedance (Ohms and phase) directly?
I assume when you say "lumped impedance and phase angle" you mean display |Z| (sqrt of [r^2+X^2]) and impedance phase angle. The NanoVNA and the two popular PC programs (NanoVNA Saver and NanoVNA app)

You never posted in the other topic what you finally did to correctly measure the antenna with the NanoVNA. If you don't establish the "reference plane" rightat the antenna your impedance measurements

I am trying to figure out if the Nano can display the lumped impedance and phase angle numerically without having to calculate from r + jX. I expected to read that from the POLAR menu, but some

Re: At which point do we take the value of impedance to tune an antenna?
Most simple antennas, near their design frequency, have an impedance curve that looks a lot like a RLC resonance. The real part changes fairly slowly, but the imaginary part changes quickly. On the

You should measure the impedance at the frequency you plan on using. I have found fairly large variations over a few MHz in this range before. Zack W9SZ wrote:
