Re: How find crystal filter terminaison resistor and capacitor
Thanks for this comment Gerard.
I upgraded to from DiSlord 1.1 to DiSlord 1.2.00 on an H4.3 and it seems to work.
I tried 300 ohm as Zo and it moved the 50 ohm load to the place it should be on a 300 ohm Smith Chart.
So far so good.

Gerard,
It looks like the latest H and H4 firmware from DiSlord also has the Port-Z rescaling.

Gerard,
In addition to the variable resistance fixture method, there is provision in
some firmware versions to mathematically modify the displayed data to show
what the response would be in a system with Z0 other than 50 ohms.
I think that this feature is available only for the V2 and later versions
because of the memory limitations in the original NanoVNA.
You can set Z0 to say, 330 ohms for typical 10.7 MHz ceramic filters. I don't
know how well this would work at 4kohm.
The DiSlord firmware has the Port-Z setting in the DISPLAY menu. The
ojisankoubou firmware has the Port-Z setting in the DISPLAY/SIMULATE menu.

Hello,
I have a lot of 2 poles filters 20J26 Motorola and 45R15AZ.
I can¡¯t find the datasheet of these filters on the net, except on a site
that tells me that the 45R15AZ is a 3rd harmonic filter, but no datasheet.
So I have no value of termination resistance and capacity.
In addition, if you take a common model like a 45M15A, you find different
values depending on the manufacturer, it ranges from 560 Ohm/1pf to 4KOhm
-1pf.
My question is whether we can measure these values with a nanovna or some
other method.
and if you have the datasheet, put it.
Thank you

Re: Smith's book. free download
There are (were?) available plastic Smith charts with a rotatable outer scale and a slide-rule-like cursor, both pivoting on a rivet dead center on the chart. The cursor saved a lot of grease pencil plotting.
My copy of the book included erasable markers colored to match the various chart grids, to easier keep track of whether you were plotting impedances or admittances.

Re: How find crystal filter terminaison resistor and capacitor
People seem to do it with variable resistors at input and output and tweak those untill the passband looks nice and flat.
Then the resistors can be measured with a multimeter to find out the impedance.

Re: Smith's book. free download
My Malwarebytes firewall blocked the above link, and claimed it was due to a Trojan; false positive perhaps???IMHO, With regard to the file size differences of the previous two links to copies. One copy of the book appears to?have been from a book which had been essentially scanned in page by page to create a pdf file. (The pages almost look?like a photocopy). The newer book appears to be a textualized copy of the original book converted to a pdf file.

Re: NanaVNA H4 battery indicator shows full but unit powers off after a minute
If you look at a graph of voltage versus discharge time, you will see a knee where the voltage drops quickly just before the battery is fully depleted. If you want to test battery performance read my article QST May 2022 page 34.
Charge the battery and retry.. My battery lasts in excess of 45 minutes.
If you want to know more about batteries I recommend

Re: Smith's book. free download
In many cases, a PDF copy of a book is as good, or maybe better, than a hard copy. In
the case of Phillip Smith's book, I would urge you to obtain a hard copy of the book,
if the opportunity occurs, even if you have a PDF copy.
An envelope on the inside back cover of the book contains four transparencies
(overlay charts) that are designed to be written on with a pencil and then erased for
further use:
Chart A - Standard SMITH CHART with normalized series-impedance or shunt-
admittance coordinates.
Chart B - SMITH CHART with normalized parallel-impedance or series-admittance
coordinates.
Chart C - SMITH CHART with normalized negative series-resistance or shunt-
conductance coordinate components.
Chart D - CARTER CHART with polar-impedance coordinates.
