I recommend to you to use the resonance method, it¡¯s more accurate. You are using a very simple VNA and there are errors of measurement bigger than the magnitude or real part of Z. I posted a method based on VNA that would be more accurate and repeatable. If you would like to measure the Q on several frequencies you can use a variable capacitor..

Figure that NanoVNA can measure resistor in a range of 50¦¸ there are no specifications for this instrument but for example for a R&S VNA model ZND ( I attached the accuracy plot) the S11 magnitude uncertainty is for Abs(S11) close to 1 is 0.02. Propagating errors it results for your specific case where the imaginary part of Z is 26,88 ¦¸ in a real part error of 0,64 ¦¸ * , and this is a mid range VNA!! There are also a parasite capacitance on inductor that can affect the measurements. You can find my post on : Step by step on measuring inductor and self resonance * I used the appropriate formula : ? Where X is the measured reactance , data gamma is the measurement uncertainty Zo=50¦¸ Regards, Patricio. ? On 31 Jan 2025, at 4:23?PM, Team-SIM SIM-Mode via groups.io <sim31_team@...> wrote: |
