Stub in your shack (2)

stubJig2

A dummy load is connected to check how the stub is working. The black coax cable forms the stub section, and the gray cable goes to the transmitter.

The current length of the stub section using 5C-FV is around 3750mm, and there is a cable of length 1000mm between the impedance bridge and the stub. Assuming the velocity factor of 0.75 for 5C-FV, the expected impedance measured by the impedance bridge is 41.731+j32.604 ohm, which is in good agreement with the cz=47.394+j39.368 ohm.
