Re: Am I in the right track ?
The feedline is still part of the antenna. The best you could do with this setup (the first image) is to decouple immediately after the SMA connector (ideally before the connector). 61 or 52 material

Re: High impedance measurement with VNA?
One way might be to use a transformer. ?Minicircuits has small, inexpensive transformers in a DIP package in ratios up to 16:1 or 25:1. 1:25 CORE & WIRE Transformer, 0.02 - 30 MHz, 50? |

High impedance measurement with VNA?
Hi, Currently trying to design and tune a 1/2 end fed antenna (RF is applied on one end), I am looking for the correct method to measure its impedance. As this one is very high I don't know the right

S-Parameter Plotter
I recently wrote a program to renormalize S-parameter impedance. This lets you measure a filter with a 50 ohm VNA even though the design impedance is higher. In the course of testing the program, I

Re: Am I in the right track ?
Wow ! Thank you so much to every one for taking your time in helping me. I truly appreciate it. @Siegfried @John I finally did it. I've cut down my RG174 down to the shortest length I could (35mm).

Re: Am I in the right track ?
And also remember line lengths on/in the dielectric are shortened by the reciprocal of the SQRT of the dielectric constant (I assume FR-4?....nominally 4.2). Dave - W?LEV

Re: Am I in the right track ?
Nico, A couple of points to consider. 1. I can't tell from your PCB photo if you had tracks on both sides of the board in order to implemented a transmission line from the matching network to the

Re: Am I in the right track ?
I don't know that shortening it even more makes all that much difference. You can guestimate the loss and to a first order, you're looking for reasonably flat S11 across your band, right? So if 174

Re: Am I in the right track ?
Let me apologize if my yesterday's post was not clear. The pictures I posted are actually the result of the recommendation you gave me. I took a 30cm RG-316 cable I have and calibrated at the very

Re: Am I in the right track ?
Putting your hand near the antenna (or, really, anything) will also "load" it with a lossy medium, improving the match. As noted before, though, most people do this by using a tool to design it (e.g.

Re: Am I in the right track ?
1) Do you have the eval board? (Always useful to look at a "known good" implementation) 2) I'm not sure it's expecting copper under the coil. The figure in the data sheet sort of looks like only the

Re: Am I in the right track ?
Yes, you're on the right track. However, I'd strongly recomment you place several appropriate clamp-on ferrites on your feedline right where it exits the assembly. Also place a few at the VNA, itself.

Re: Am I in the right track ?
you should albsoutely calibrate on cable end and use one as short as it is practical (just a few inches would be best!!) only THEN you have exact values to type into simsmith .. then calculate parts

Re: Am I in the right track ?
John, Thanks once again for the precious advices. As I¡¯ve put the antenna exactly as I t has been manufactured, could I simply populate the matching network instead of stretching the spirals ? C-L-C

Re: Am I in the right track ?
Nicolas, Your results actually look pretty good. An SWR of 2.4:1 represents a loss of only 17%. Small changes in the spacing of the turns on your antenna should enable you to put the minimum SWR at
