Does this seem right? :3c

• Start with a best guess based on the antenna type.
• Analyze with the NanoVNA so that you can measure the resistive and reactive parts of the impedance.
• Depending on the antenna type, you might have to adjust its length. Keep analyzing it as you adjust.
• Add some sort of transformer at the feed point to get the antenna’s resistive part to match 50Ω.
• Analyze again to see what the reactive part looks like after matching the resistive part.
• Add components to the reactive part to 0Ω, which should cause resonance to be achieved as required to obtain a low SWR.
  • If the reactive part is positive, add capacitance or remove inductance.
  • If the reactive part is negative, add inductance or remove capacitance.
• Connect the antenna to the feed line system.
  • If high SWR is reported by the SWR meter, you need to make adjustments between the SWR meter and antenna.
  • If high SWR reported by the tranceiver and not the SWR meter, you need to make adjustments between the transceiver and SWR meter.
