a. VNA/J with antenna coil measurement
b. VNA/J Smith chart example
Fig 50. VNA/J from DL2SBA (refer to [13])
In Fig 51 the result of the same measurement is shown for the R&S ZVL as well as for
the VNA/J using the miniVNAPro. The accuracy of the ZVL is much higher than the one
of the miniVNA Pro. However, for the antenna matching and tuning procedure as
described in this document, both devices can be used.
