Re: Smith Chart acting up in calibration
I have lost your initial message, but if this is an -H4, isnthe MS/SI option ser correctly? That can change when flashing. -- Sent from my Android device with K-9 Mail. Please excuse my brevity.

Re: Smith Chart acting up in calibration
Bryan, What was your original firmware version? Have you tried re-flashing back to that version? This would eliminate hardware concerns and focus solely on firmware. I noticed there are 10 issues

Re: Smith Chart acting up in calibration
COULD IT BE? There are three ranges noted on the back label. 50k-300MHz, 300MHz-900MHz, and 0.9GHz-1.5GHz. If my stimulus start and stop crisses over one of these ranges then I see this happen. So

Re: Smith Chart acting up in calibration
UPDATE: It seems this only happens when my stop freq is above 300mhz. Is this normal or is my understanding flawed. I may have never noticed this because I don't recall ever using it that high. Bryan,

Smith Chart acting up in calibration
On my H4, I recently started having a problem calibrating. During cal the smith chart is sweeping wildly displaying a lot of straight angled lines about the cursor. In the end the cal fails as

Re: Types oif NanoVNA
Depends on what you want. The H4 has less frequency range but I like the larger screen. I suppose you could get one of each. Zack W9SZ [email protected]> wrote:

Re: NanoVNA and FY6XXX generator
Very hard to see what it would do better than the NanoVNA for filters etc You don¡¯t need the excess power and the output range is pretty limited for harmonic filters etc

Re: NanoVNA port renormalization
Roger, I believe DiSlord is indeed asking whether the ability to accurately measure differing DUT input and output ports would be useful. It may not be used often but there are definitely uses for

Do you want different impedances on input and output? I believe that is what DiSlord is suggesting... Roger

Re: NanoVNA port renormalization
Nizar, I am not sure what you are saying. The existing Port Z function allows one to calculate the S parameters for another system impedance like 75 ohms. For example if a filter had a designed input

Yes NanoVNA 50Om system, but possible use math to see how this DUT measured in different impedance system For this S parameters converts to Z (DUT impedance constant and not depend from measured

Re: NanoVNA port renormalization
Dave, The measurement is indeed made in a 50-ohm system, but given a complete (S11, S21, S22, S12) set of S-parameters in a 50 ohm system, it is possible to calculate what the S-parameters would be in

Re: NanoVNA port renormalization
That isn't the point Dave... When converting back to real values, whether the center 1 represents 50 Ohms or something else makes a difference. Or have I got something wrong here?
