Re: -H, -H4 meaning of R1 = 50 ohms
The resistive (R) term in a complex impedance R +/- jX is not necessarily frequency independent. Both R and jX can change in some complex impedance loads. An example is an antenna operating at either

Re: -H, -H4 meaning of R1 = 50 ohms
Hello again Rich; To answer your question directly, neither R1 nor Rj is correct. The variable being changed in the Measure menu referred to as R1 defines the characteristic impedance (a complex R +

I¡¯d like to shed some light on a technique which has worked well, at least for me. I use an SAA-2N that I got from R&L Electronics about 3-years ago. At the time, they were reported as selling

Re: -H, -H4 meaning of R1 = 50 ohms
The purpose of PORT Z 50 -> XX is to set the "reference impedance" to XX. Important: You still must calibrate using a 50 ohm load!! If I set XX to 75 ohms the origin of the Smith Chart will now be 75

What about NanoVna2? How is this handled there NanoVnaV2 has an own group, so this is only a note that is may interest others too.

Re: -H, -H4 meaning of R1 = 50 ohms
No, but thanks for taking the time! I am working on documenting the nVNA, and trying to find an explanation for each menu item that seems like it needs an explanation. Please see my next port. ~R~

Re: -H, -H4 meaning of R1 = 50 ohms
So here are some of the issues. 1. This feature (I guess) is described on the published menu as DISPLAY-> PORT Z 50 -> XX, but no such feature exists on my device. 2. PORT Z 50 -> XX is described

Re: -H, -H4 meaning of R1 = 50 ohms
And the R1 setting lets you change the internal calculations of the nanoVNA to use a value other than 50 for the nominal impedance, e.g. 75 + j0, which for many cases works as expected. Note that it

Re: -H, -H4 meaning of R1 = 50 ohms
Most things "RF" deal with a 50 ¡À j0 ohm system impedance. The exception is the TV industry who go with 75-ohms. All the NANOVNAs and the TinySA are designed for and present pretty much a system

Re: One or Two Calibrations?

I follow the suggestion of calibrating at the min and max frequencies that the NanoVNA can handle (save to S0) then perform additional calibrations over the frequency ranges of interest, saving those

I think the question is more about getting consistent calibration - One might turn the NanoVNA on and off, for instance, in the course of a day on the same test

I see this on both devices, and would like to know how to use it. I also see Rj = 50 ohms, and I wonder if these are confused with one another. ~R~
