Re: Antennas
You may laugh, but sometimes, small changes in dimensions are important, and therefore so is temperature. For Aluminum, one might see a length change of 0.2% (and corresponding resonant frequency

Hi Scott, As an aside, I have used talc as a lube for bamboo slide rules over the decades. My old Post Versalog II, (with leather case, and both in MINT condition), had small amounts of talc placed in

While the file format spec may define formats for things other than S parameters, they're not particularly common. Not to say that they don't exist, but every tool I've used only uses S parameters. Th

Hey guys, Bringing the? reactance to zero (if you really want that for your antenna), don't forget that there might be a coax cable involved in the measurement set-up.? That coax can move the Z of

I agree with W0LEV 100% on using the phase information to guide one's tuning efforts. That valuable phase information is what puts the "Vector" in "vector network analyzer"(VNA) and is what makes it
