Re: coax fatigue

I was fortunate enough to get some high-quality PTFE (Teflon) coax (RG-174 sized) SMA to BNC jumpers - and these hold up much better, probably because they have a small piece of heat-shrinkable tubing

Is there any documentation on the formulas used by the NanoVNA to calibrate and correct measurements?
Hello, I am looking for any references that explain the formulas used by the NanoVNA to do calibration and measurement corrections. I have looked at various six- and twelve- parameter corrections.

Hi I used the following approach with my mag loops. Capacitor is driven by a stepper motor controlled remotely (Arduino + Nrf24l01 module) When I decide to have a QSO session, I first run a

Hi all, regarding saving the scan and download it later, I think a nice firmware feature would be to schedule a delayed scan followed by a pause after the scan. This will allow to hang the NanoVNA to

Check out the ModularTuner http://www.github.com/profdc9/ModularTuner This is an automatic antenna tuner with a directional coupler that you could program to search for the minimum SWR. It can be

As a first step I will model the reference Z0 ( normally 50 ohm ) as a RLC combination If that is not enough I will add some unbalance to the moebius transform. -- Erik, PD0EK

Re: Chasing ghosts???

One problem is that scikit-rf wants S11 files for ideal SOL but I did not find how scikit-rf can generate S11 from e.g. delay, R, L, C values. Since I have SDR-Kits BNC cal kit, perhaps S11 for those

Re: Problem installing NanoVNA saver on Ubuntu 18.04LTS...
Hi Ian, what version did you install directly from Ubuntu? NanoVNA-Saver should run with that, assuming it's PyQt5 and not PyQt4 - but I haven't tried it with older versions. There's nothing in
