Re: two nanoVNA linked for two port setup
My first experiment was just using Ts.? This works, but doesn't present a 50ohm impedance to the device under test (DUT), rather it presents 25 ohms (because you've got two 50 ohm terminations in

Re: Inductor Q Measurement
I think the original question was how to run Brian Beezley's COIL program (which is Windows/DOS) that is *non-trivial* on a Mac - the *easiest* way is to fire up a virtual machine of some sort, but

Re: Inductor Q Measurement
Andrew, I¡¯m sorry but I can¡¯t remember. It must have been fairly easy or I wouldn¡¯t have managed it. I do know that I access it from the terminal by typing; cd nanovna-saver (ENTER) NanoVNASaver

Yes, thanks, the image looks good. I too have googled Windows apps on a Mac, and they require strange things I have never heard of. I don¡¯t know what Wine is, for example. Nor Python. I followed

Sorry, Andy. I know nothing about Macs. But googling yields many results for running Windows software on a Mac, including a version of Wine. Here is a screenshot of an actual Litz coil for a crystal

Re: Inductor Q Measurement
Sounds intriguing! I routinely find self-resonance and calculate parasitic C from that. I see that I could take that R and calculate Q, but the Q would be for a frequency far from a practical one, and

Re: Inductor Q Measurement
You're fine with alligator clips at HF frequencies - especially the BC band for the crystal radio. Don't sweat it !! If your crystal radio operated much above 100 MHz, yes, the alligator or crocodile

Re: Inductor Q Measurement
exactly. Let's say the gamma measurement is +/- 5%.? If you convert gamma = 1.05 (angle = 0) you get -2050 ohms and Mag S11 = 0.4238 dB If you convert gamma=0.95, you get 1950 ohms and mag S11 =

Re: Inductor Q Measurement
Yes, R cannot be < 0, but my interpretation is simply that the -2 is error in some small number like, say 1 or 2 ohms. I will admit that many of you experts talk about how you attach your DUT very
