Re: High impedance antenna measurments

I've measured in the HF range only. Low and high impedances, testing with resistors. The results are in the following documents:

Re: High impedance antenna measurments

I think that would make high/low measurements much less accurate! To the OP: As a suggestion, anything more than, say, 5 times from the nominal 50 ohms will be subject to increasing inaccuracy. Say 10

Re: High impedance antenna measurments

In my possible dumb imagination I would use a 10 or 20 dB attenuator to avoid mismatch on the NanoVNA side. Then measure the impedance. Then I would make an a-symmetrical attenuator from 50 to that

Is there a performance specification for the nanoVNA? Particularly interested in V4.2 HW version as I have one Kind regards Ed G8FAX

You won't need it. The nano measures it all. What's your name? Op 20-7-2022 om 10:34 schreef Observer:

High impedance antenna measurments
#applications
Anyone has used the nano with an antenna bridge ( or noise bridge ?) to measure antenna impedances other than 50 ohms, like 300 ohms and up ?

Re: Low pass filter
Concerning your filter, note that: nanoVNA makes its measurements with an internal 50 ? impedance generator. When you use this filter behind a PA, fortunately, its internal impedance is not 50 ?;

Re: checking inductance
Thanks for the explanation on the basic operation of the nanaoVNA bridge. It must not be easy to measure the phase! Unfortunately, I don't know Python. I'm just getting by in C and C#. For the

Low pass filter
Hi All, I have a 6 meter amp project I've been slowly working on. It's modifying a Larcan lo-lo 1Kw amp used in a VHF channel 4 TV station to 6 meters.? It's based on the work of K1WHS. I got a low

Re: checking inductance
There's no pulses - each measurement is made with a steady state signal. For S11 measurements, it's like feeding a zero ohm output impedance signal generator through a 50 ohm resistor to the input of

Re: Correction of error introduce by a transmission line connect to the VNA port 1
Diane, Unfortunately you are not using the edelay correctly. Once you have done your SOL directly at the NanoVNA connector you connect your test cable and do NOT attach the open end to anything. You

Re: checking inductance
Yes that is true for real-world inductors that you test. Air coils have minimal variation but those with a core of powdered iron or ferrite material have more change with ferrite having the most. (see

Re: checking inductance
No Pulse, just analysis of peaks and nulls in the response. i.e. 1/4 wave response and 1/2 wave response are opposite.

Re: Using VNA to test NFC tags
You know, I've had AN11276 for years but never looked at it because I don't design inlays. Thanks very much for bringing it into the conversation. Of course that's the right place to look for ideas.
