Excellent work, Barry. I've always contended introduction of the NANOVNAs

The universities *are* buying these by the dozen.
Prof Ashwin Iyer at University of Alberta used them in a "intro class" along with a VOM (ECE 478) a bunch of parts and modules, etc. Even a soldering iron. During COVID isolation.
They had a great experience.
Might be behind a paywall
A. K. Iyer, B. P. Smyth, M. Semple and C. Barker, "Going Remote: Teaching Microwave Engineering in the Age of the Global Pandemic and Beyond," in IEEE Microwave Magazine, vol. 22, no. 11, pp. 64-77, Nov. 2021, doi: 10.1109/MMM.2021.3102649.
They did a great job. They had multiple resources, TAs who could explain on a one-to-one basis, etc.
If you want to pursue more info, Prof Iyer would probably be happy to talk to you.
