Re: NanoVNA port renormalization
But the measurement system - that of the NANOVNA - is always in a 50-ohm system. To do it correctly, matching networks are required to match anything other than 50-ohms. Dave - W?LEV

Re: NanoVNA port renormalization
Roger, The renormalization is useful for measuring networks (like crystal or ceramic filters) which are designed for other impedance levels. For example, it allows you to evaluate a 10.7MHz, 330ohm

Re: NanoVNA and FY6XXX generator
HI Philip tnx for the advice. I use a combo of SMA M/F attenuators to stay well under +10dBm max signal level for NanoVNA input. Wonder if you too use FY 6XXX generator. Gabriele, I4JXE

Re: NanoVNA port renormalization
Hi Roger If the coding does not require a huge complication nor a large resources, it would be appreciated to have this option of the Z port2, it would also approach the enhanced response on H4

Re: SWR Question
The 250m is a scaling parameter on the grid . So each successive horizontal line for SWR, in this case, increases by .25. 1.891 is the SWR calculated at the marker. Go into the Display/Scale menu to

Re: NanoVNA port renormalization
DiSlord, I have tested your port renormalization function (called Port Z) for several values of Z like 75 and 100 ohms. It calculated S11 and S21 correctly for DUT's

Re: NanoVNA port renormalization
Hi DiSlord and All I already used the standard load= 50.83 Ohm ( DC measur by a good Multimeter's) instead of 50.00 Ohm for the Nano calibration, and a Z0= 78.9 Ohm to optimise my nominal 75 Ohm coax

Re: NanoVNA port renormalization
VNA calibrated by 50Om - nominal port impedance On measure S parameters possible calculate get Z parameters (by known Z0 = 50) Next possible calculate from this Z new S` parameters but use Z` != 50 Om

Re: NanoVNA port renormalization
Yes, but I believe anyone (well........."maybe") can multiply any number by unity: 1. Or maybe not??????? Even with a normalized chart center, the measurement system is still as close to 50 ¡À j 0 as

Isn't that what the Z function does--allow normalisation of the chart to any resistance?

Re: NanoVNA port renormalization
Why not just use a normalized Smith Chart? Ten the center resistance can be anything you want. Dave - W?LEV

Re: NanoVNA port renormalization
Since I use the nanoVNA only for amateur radio or tinySA related work, everything is nominally 50 Ohms. But for purely theoretical reasons I'm looking forward to any expansion on this subject you care

NanoVNA port renormalization
NanoVNA has a port renormalization function (called Port Z, see DISPLAY->PORT Z: 50) that allows you to see the measured S parameters at other port impedances. But since NanoVNA is only available for

Re: SWR Question
Hello Roger, OK, understand now. And I had checked that the scaling was the same in both tests. Not that I expected they would be different:-) Thanks for clarifying. Regards...Bob VK2ZRE

Re: NanoVNA and FY6XXX generator
Hi Gabriele, Be careful with the level output of the FY6900 as it defaults to 5v. This is well above what is needed and can damage sensitive instruments such as a tinySA and nanoVNA port 2. Phil g3ses

No need, the VNA generates its own test signals internally. 73, Don N2VGU
