    S-Parameters in Magnitude and Phase Angle on the Nano VNA?

    Hi folks, I'm thinking of getting a nano vna to measure the S-Parameters of RF transistors. One thing I noticed is that I've only seen the magnitude expressed in dB. I'm used to it expressed in absolute value of the magnitude. How do I set the instrument to read the absolute value of...

    Beyond Maximum Stable Gain?

    I was plotting constant-gain circles on the Smith chart the other day for a potentially unstable RF transistor. I recently read on-line that for a potentially unstable transistor the maximum gain that can achieved is the MSG or maximum stable gain. MSG is simply the ratio of the magnitude of S21...

    Reflection Coefficient to Impedance transformation on the Smith Chart

    A certain RF transistor has a source - reflection coefficient with a magnitude of .105 and a phase angle of 160°. When plotted on the Smith Chart, the normalized impedance is .825 +j .06 Ω. What is the actual or unnormalized impedance? What does it depend on? Is it 50(.825 +j .06 Ω) or 41 +j 3...
