FIXTURE for XMSN MEASUREMENTS
You've all seen my fixture I use for evaluating transmission measurements on various items, especially common mode chokes, filters, and other circuits. Well, that old fixture was limited to about 35

Re: READING L AN C VALUES USING THE NANOVNAs and the SMITH CHART
Yes. My last visit to JB was just after they closed. Sitting on the concrete table outside the store was a Tektronix 7623A, with a sign on it that read "FREE". You can guess what happened next. JB was

Yes, when we can't find something at Ace, we head to Boulder. White Rock, New Mexico also had something similar that "served" the lab at Los Alamos. Good hardware stores are rare these days with all

Re: NanoVNA-F V3 from SysJoint firmware beep
Deepelec has not updated their firmware in several years and their architecture is not the same as your V3. Why not open the case and disable the beeper? Put some tape across the output port or cut

Re: READING L AN C VALUES USING THE NANOVNAs and the SMITH CHART
Any good hardware store may have them. Also a good electrical supply house. Likely, the chains will not have such items. We have an excellent "have everything" and then some hardware store in Boulder.

Nizar, Yes you need to use Enhanced response option for S21. It was created by DiSlord for these types of measurements.

Re: READING L AN C VALUES USING THE NANOVNAs and the SMITH CHART
Hi Roger I do not use enhanced response, indeed i dont use an unknownen function for me, i use SeeSi H4 SM NanoVNA + DiSlord 1.2.40 Firmware , Serial resistor with reasonnable 2cm legs only for 30Mhz

Hi folks, I'm brand new here. I just got the NanoVNA-F V3 which is made by SysJoint. Like with my other VNAs (a cheap small NanoVNA-H & a LiteVNA 64) the first thing I looked for was the (custom)

Dave, Where did you find the very large alligator clip shown in the photos in the document? My usual sources aren't turning up anything big enough to bite a bnc connector. Just curious. Andy

Re: READING L AN C VALUES USING THE NANOVNAs and the SMITH CHART
Alligator clips are OK if you just want to get a rough idea of the impedance of the device you are measuring. The problem with them is you have an impedance discontinuity from the coax to the clips

Re: READING L AN C VALUES USING THE NANOVNAs and the SMITH CHART
Something wrong with your S11 plot. It should be much better than that. Here is a re-post of my previous plot. S11 is flat but is off by 3 to 4%. Note that S21 is much better estimate at low
