Re: Measuring swr on fan dipole or windom antenna
Where does the original poster say anything about the "measure cable:" function? The NanoVNA has an "SWR" function. I use it quite a bit. Zack W9SZ

Re: Measuring swr on fan dipole or windom antenna
it does not send a pulse - what it does is sweep a range of frequencies, and then mathematically transforms the measurement to what it would have been if it were a pulse (or step).

Re: Measuring swr on fan dipole or windom antenna
BUT with the 'measure cable' function, you cannot specify a frequency, and the function is not intended or designed to measure frequency (it sends a pulse, not a sweep) or measure SWR. MEASURE CABLE

Re: Measuring switch isolation Re: [nanovna-users] Connect VNA thru tuner to antenna
This is true of most switch topologies. Another frequency-dependent characteristic of mechanical switches which can crop up during testing, especially in the microwave region, is resonances from

Re: Measuring swr on fan dipole or windom antenna
** Yes, it is used to measure the length of a real cable :). In your case, you are not measuring a cable but an antenna connected to the end of a cable. When only one port is used, the nanoVNA only

Re: Measuring swr on fan dipole or windom antenna
The "measure cable" function was designed to measure a transmission line (e.g. length of coax), open at the far end, and give you its characteristic impedance, loss, and length (length only when you

Re: Measuring swr on fan dipole or windom antenna
Steve, The nano is measuring only the cable length, not the antenna plus cable. Gary W9TD

Re: Measuring swr on fan dipole or windom antenna
My NanoVNA shows a single wire length (when measuring cable) for the fan dipole even though there are definitely multiple lengths of wire (all different) in the air. This length stays the same as I

Re: DFU mode not working #nanovna-app #nanovna-h4
What DFU software are you using? There are four programs for installing firmware updates that I know about. The original one from ST, Dfuse Demo, works well on older computers but refuses to connect

DFU mode not working #nanovna-app #nanovna-h4
Hello All, I cannot for some reason get my H4 into DFU mode on my laptop; I don't have a problem with my desktop computer (running the same version of NanoVNA App). Is there something that I should be

Re: Measuring switch isolation Re: [nanovna-users] Connect VNA thru tuner to antenna
Log mag S21 is what I use, and yes, typically quite frequency dependent for switches based on non-RF relays (i.e. most amateur switch boxes). The leakage is mostly due to parasitic C, so the leakage

Re: Measuring switch isolation Re: [nanovna-users] Connect VNA thru tuner to antenna
Thanks Jim. Still learning this neat tool. So just the phase trace is all thats needed on s21 to measure isolation? Are results frequency dependent? Bryan, n0luf

Re: Group Delay Wiggles
Don't do "double calibration", it just forces the device to do interpolation between points. The note in documentation remains there for misbehaving devices that would give out or range values when

Re: Group Delay Wiggles
Thanks for all of the help. The plots are very enlightening. it seems like this explains this. In response to the on device calibration, is disabling it simply unchecking the apply button? And also

Re: Firmware upgrade for original nanovna
If you do not have the version 0.8 as *.bin (or *.dfu) file I would propose to save it from device before you flash the new version. Dunno how to do it on windows, on linux I use "dfu-util -d

Measuring switch isolation Re: [nanovna-users] Connect VNA thru tuner to antenna
Measuring switch isolation. Let's say your switch has a common, and 4 switched outputs A,B,C,D Hook the VNA up to Ch0 to A and Ch1 to B, put a load on Common, set the switch to A, and measure the S21.

Re: Connect VNA thru tuner to antenna
I've done similar with antenna analyzers in the past and currently with a VNA. Switches I've used provided sufficient isolation...so far.
