Going back to Maximo's original question (more than a week ago, I think) he was using an Anritsu instrument to measure the choke, and the available options for displaying data do not include the ability to perform math to get choke Z on screen, which is his objective.

Granted that he already has the Anritsu, it does require the export of data to a spreadsheet to get choke Z.  I suggest that, given it's low cost, high quality, and math capabilities to compute choke Z from S21 data and display it on screen, he consider purchase of the VNWA 3e from SDR Kits in the UK. The design is by DG8SAQ, and both he and the SDR Kits people support it on a Yahoo reflector. The unit is NOT a kit, it's fully built and tested, and sells for 475 pounds with one short cable and Rosenberger calibration kit.

I thought Maximo was trying to derive R and X from S21 measurements, not
S11 measurements - at least that's what his Subject line suggests.
