Ok, be aware that sometimes that impedance is gauranteed to less than
full output.
If it is 50+j0, then your Vf reading should not change in magnitude with
load variation. If it does change, you have to factor it into the calcs
as in the AN.
I just looked back at some of my data and I see that the Vf changes
slightly with some loads. However, this variation is used in my Excel
spreadsheet to calculate the results. All is according to the HP app note.
