Re: "Q", Coils, toroids, and guesswork?
That 200 Ohms is not the same as a 200 Ohm resistor at any frequency other that 1 MHz. Again Impedance, not resistance.? Kent

Re: "Q", Coils, toroids, and guesswork?
Thanks, but I must disagree: the nanoVNA provides a resistance output as well as a reactance, and that is what I was reading to be 200 ohms at 1 MHz...

Re: "Q", Coils, toroids, and guesswork?
Not really resistance, but impdeance. Got a good old DC Volt Ohm Meter? Try that, but you see only 1 or 2 Ohms. Most of the Digital VOM;s are using pulses that are much like RF.So they are reading as

Re: "Q", Coils, toroids, and guesswork?
This thread inspires me to ask a question that is not directly about my nanoVNA: I have a toroid from a flea market that is blue, has OD = 0.875¡±, ID = 0.51¡±, and length = 0.3125¡±. I wrapped 6

Re: "Q", Coils, toroids, and guesswork?
You don't need anything other than the NANOVNAs to measure inductance as a function of frequency. Invoke the Smith Chart, and use the cursors to measure the L at any frequency within your sweep.

Re: "Q", Coils, toroids, and guesswork?
I would find it interesting to see curves of L(uh) at different B field amplitudes. Such as with a weak antenna signal vs an amplifier output. I learned in my first AC circuits class that AsubL drops

Re: "Q", Coils, toroids, and guesswork?
I contacted the author of the program (Miguel Vaca) by email and sent him my suggestions and bug report. He has just released a new version which plots L versus frequency. Those designing toroid

Re: Calibration
Jim, I agree with you. Here are some measurements of a 20M dipole. First measurement was made using calibrated range of 1 to 30 MHz. Next was using same calibration but "zooming in" to 13

Re: Calibration
When you choose a set of frequency limits, and a set of frequencies in that span (number of frequency steps), then only and exactly that set of frequencies is calibrated. If you then make a

Re: "Q", Coils, toroids, and guesswork?
Roger, Note that I am only clever enough to post a link to the calculator. The Aussie, Jose Miguel Vaca, VK3CPU is the one who did all the magic so I don't need to use the CF scale on my slip stick.

Re: "Q", Coils, toroids, and guesswork?
Cliff, That is a very impressive calculator!. A suggestion - You only calculate L with the initial permeability. You already plot X so it would be nice if you could add L to the graph since it varies

Re: Calibration
I had wondered about this. I will calibrate over several different ranges (e.g. 143 to 147 MHz, 431 to 433 MHz, etc.) and save each one. I am assuming the calibration is saved each time one of the
