I need to measure the impedance of an antenna setup and am told a Vector
Network Analyser is required. For a 1-off use I am reluctant to outlay money
to buy one and even the rental fee is high for such a device. Is there
another way to measure impedance that will give me the same result?

 

TIA

 

Peter
