Re: Inductor Q Measurement
Gary, Have you evaluated the Q at OR near the SRF and then the Q significantly below SRF?

Re: NanoVNA H4
It's not the backlight current as it runs off the 5v line, not the 5V-RF or the 3V sources. Since the unit is new, it's most likely infant-mortality on the part or a counterfeit part was used that was

Re: Inductor Q Measurement
Hi Brian, Thanks for reminding all about COIL. It takes a little getting familiar with it since you use an interesting GUI interface, but I got the handle on it.? Is there a way to input the coil

Re: NanoVNA H4
Thanks, It looks like the LD01 is defective as only 1V is coming out instead of 3V. I didn't expect to have a defective unit as I posses it only 2 weeks. I'll claim for a replacement rather than

Re: Inductor Q Measurement
Quick and dirty method... Just measure the self resonance of your coil. If you calibrate the nVNA to your fixture and then just run the S11 sweep up high enough on the coil, you will undoubtedly see a

Re: Inductor Q Measurement
Brian, thanks for the background information on COIL I have gotten many features to work under Wine in Linux and it is very useful. I may have spoken a bit too soon in implying everything would work

Re: NanoVNA H4
Well, it appears you have some type of hardware failure.. if you reconnect the battery, measure the voltage at the power SW with the USB cable disconnected - it should be 5V. Turn ON and? measure the

Re: Inductor Q Measurement
Depending on how the conversion from reflection or transmission coefficient (gamma) to R+jX is done, a coefficient with magnitude >1 will result in negative R. If you're measuring low impedances (so

Re: Inductor Q Measurement
That "-2" suggests to me that you're not actually reading 'Resistance' there. Resistance should be positive, but Reactance can be in negative ohms. Since high Q _requires_ low R, it's going to be

Re: Inductor Q Measurement
Thanks for the feedback, Dave. I didn't mention that COIL is a Windows console program. I gather that wineconsole is necessary. I forgot to mention that a user should first read README.TXT. COIL

Andrew, my coil program might interest you. It calculates inductance and Q for solenoids made of solid or Litz wire. It models a number of wire alloys and form dielectrics, dielectric ribs or ridges,
