Re: Can the NamoVNA be used to charctorize a receveiver antenna input impedance
Andy, If the input circuit is overloaded the errors multiply and the reflected impedance is not correct. My UV5r measured using a HP4191A at -30dbm gives far more reasonable reading inside the 1.5:1

Re: Measure S11 and S22 for active devices
This is a tricky case as the power out can overload the device. The solution I use is attenuate the output, run S21 and use an external return loss bridge with an amplifier on the return port to the
