FIXTURE for XMSN MEASUREMENATS 2.0
As promised, I made some rigorous measurements of my home brew fixture for making transmission measurements of various HF circuit elements using a "professional" instrument. I could have used the

Re: NanoVNA-F V3 from SysJoint firmware beep
If Sysjoint does not listen to customers and provide a firmware solution you have only three choices: live with it, muffle it or cut the beeper circuit.

Re: FIXTURE for XMSN MEASUREMENTS
Dave, the connector is part of the fixture, but since its impedance is 50 ohms, its capacitance does not contribute to the stray fixture capacitance. If you measure an uninstalled connector, you can

Re: FIXTURE for XMSN MEASUREMENTS
Broam, the BNC connectors are part of the fixture and I can not eliminate them. Yesterday, I even questioned my own measurement of 2.7 pF. I need to revisit that today as it was a hurried measurement.

Re: NanoVNA-F V3 from SysJoint firmware beep
Ohhh, that's too bad. Is there really no software based solution? I really don't like the idea of physically destroying something in a "brand new" (for me) device I just bought. ?

Re: FIXTURE for XMSN MEASUREMENTS
Dave, out of curiosity I created a circuit model for a common-mode choke. It has an inductance, capacitance, and resistance in parallel. I chose the values to mimic attenuation results for a

Re: NanoVNA-F V3 from SysJoint firmware beep
I have found that all beepers can be permanently silenced with a pair of diagonal cutters. ;-) A less invasive method is to stuff the transducer full with putty, Blue Tac, epoxy or similar physical

Re: FIXTURE for XMSN MEASUREMENTS
Thanks for the info, Dave. Please measure a common-mode choke using the fixture with your HP VNA with S11, S21, S12, and S22 and post the .s2p. I'll see how the Y21 method compares with the usual S21

Re: FIXTURE for XMSN MEASUREMENTS
1) My take on dynamic range is the ratio between the fixture with nothing between the two ports to a fat and short as possible conductor between the ports. With the recent images and using the

Re: FIXTURE for XMSN MEASUREMENTS
OK, after looking more carefully at the photos, I think you're referring to the ratio of the desired signal through the device under test to the residual feedthrough with the device absent. Correct me

Dave, what do you mean by dynamic range in this context? Brian

FIXTURE for XMSN MEASUREMENTS
You've all seen my fixture I use for evaluating transmission measurements on various items, especially common mode chokes, filters, and other circuits. Well, that old fixture was limited to about 35

Re: READING L AN C VALUES USING THE NANOVNAs and the SMITH CHART
Yes. My last visit to JB was just after they closed. Sitting on the concrete table outside the store was a Tektronix 7623A, with a sign on it that read "FREE". You can guess what happened next. JB was
