Re: Quick compare with HP 8753C...
...but one advantage to using the equations based on the ideal A terms is that you should be able to fold the references¡¯ parasitic elements into them (e.g. the open¡¯s 50 femtofarads capacitance).

Thanks very much, Roger, Dick Benson, my go-to VNA guru, just sent me the following Matlab script for a single-port correction: function Gcor = Cal_Function(Goc,Gsc,Gzo,Gm) Gcor = ((Goc - Gsc).*(Gm -

Re: Further Comments on Resistive Bridges
Hi Jerry, Thanks for the comments. On the Si5351, it is not uncommon for the AC source impedance of an RF amplifier or buffer to appear to be 50 ohms. However, the available source current

A minor correction, I said: With an open across Z in my simple bridge example, the voltage on the left side of Vd is equal to Vs. The voltage on the right side of Vd is still Vs/2, so the voltage

Re: Your NanoVNA version
Warren, I am afraid to say it *is* more complicated than what you state. There are actually at least *two* dynamic ranges on a VNA. The lower limit of useable measurements is usually set by the noise
