What doesn't seem to agree between theory and practice is that
measuring any "b" stub in parallel with the dummy load shows an
impedance of about R=11 and X=11, while on the smith chart this should
be R=11 and X=21 (obviously all at 70 MHz). Why it does measure right
alone and wrong with a coaxial "T" adapter and the dummy load in
parallel?
Of course in real life I'm assuming a Vf=0.88 for the cellflex cable
and checking measures with the analyzer.
What could be wrong?
Any hint is appreciated
PS the single shunt stub of 86.8 degrees calculates to 11.7 - j 21 ohms,
when in parallel with a 50 ohm load (At 70 MHz).

Hi Frank
My calculations indicate that the length of "A" (50 ohm coax) should be
close to 48.6 degrees between two identical open stubs with a 50 ohm
termiantion on the 50 ohm line when I use your 11.7 -J21 impedance. So, my
recommendation stands. Try a little shorter "A" if impedance match at 70
MHz is the objective.
