Equipment / Re: Inexpensive VNA
« on: February 01, 2020, 2308 UTC »
Back in the 80's I used to tune FM Broadcast antennas. It took a whole cart full of equipment: sweep generator, marker generator, frequency counter, X-Y scope, return loss bridge, attenuater pads and lots of cables. Calibration was done with a 1.0 and 1.2 load (50 and 60 ohms) and a section of open ended transmission line. You youngsters got it made now with your shirt pocket size VNA's    8)
