This may be off-topic or it may be a derivative KAT500 question about design. And, I admit to not knowing that much about VNA (Vector Network Analyzer) devices.
But, the KAT500 discovers an L & C match by a search process, I think it is measuring reflected voltage but not quite sure about that. Can a vector network analyzer type circuit be used in a tuner to actually measure the complex impedance R + jX values and then use that to compute the required L & C values of the matching circuits (L-network ?). Thus, given an input frequency would it not be possible to instantaneously (almost) determine the match? 73, phil, K7PEH P.S. Or, am I completely off my rocker. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
