Re: First PCB pictures of the V2

 

I'd also like to suggest being able to rotate the screen so that the SMA's and cables are not facing the user.

However having removed the jog wheel and converted my Nano to use small push buttons (see attached) with a positive tactile 'click', I definitely wouldn't recommend fitting a jog wheel in any way, shape or form.

Dear Gary,

Thank you, very much indeed, because you noticed this !

Well, in our sow this means :

"keep the signal flow diagrams, use them to correctly express the
relations between a-s and b-s at joining ports, and forget the -most
disorientating- "rules" of them".

And we used it in this way for more than 25 years until last January
2019, when we found -with much pleasure, indeed- its full independent
justification at:

D. M. Kerns and R. W. Beatty, "Basic Theory of Wave guide Junctions and
Introductory Microwave Network Analysis" [*], Part 2, Introductory Microwave
Network Analysis, 2.18 Signal Flow Graph Applied to the Scattering Equations
pp.123-124, International Series of Monographs in Electromagnetic Waves,
Editors: A. L. Cullen, V. A. Fock J. R. Wait, Volume 13, Pergamon Press Inc,
First Edition, 1967:

"(f) Comments on use of signal ?ow graphs

This technique offers nothing fundamentally new and, if correctly applied, yields
the same results one would obtain by solutions of the scattering equations.
It seems to be simpler in some eases to write down the solutions by inspection of
diagrams rather than by algebraic manipulations. However, one must he careful
not to miss any of the loops, and this is a possible source of difficulty, especially
when we are dealing with 3-ports, 4-ports, or more complicated networks.

As a graphical aid to intuitive thinking about the analysis of systems, it is no doubt
valuable, and is therefore a tool to supplement conventional algebraic analysis."

Best regards,

Re: First PCB pictures of the V2

 

I think that NanoVNA-B is okay.
You should not use V2 in its name. I would like to emphasize this again.
I hope that your team accepts this proposal.

Thank you for this very nice resource archive.

Re: First PCB pictures of the V2

 

I've brought this issue to the team. It's going to be NanoVNA-B V2, if you don't object. I'm only an engineer on the development team (for OwOComm) and my name comes from a fictitious character who has no relation to this project ;)


Re: First PCB pictures of the V2

 

Hi Gabriel,

Congrats to see working your product.

As I posted in the former message, I think that you should use a name such as V2 or Pro.
I propose that your product should be named as NanoVNA-G derived from your initial.

Again, I strongly say that you should use the name of V2.
I hope you think this issue seriously.
Regards,

@edy555


Re: errors of "error" models

 

Good morning GIN&PEZ;

I am confused by your comment of number 4 being redundant. I am OK with the remainder.

QEX Magazine #tutorials

 

The Jan-Feb 2020 Issue of the ARRL QEX magazine has a cover story on the NanoVNA by Dr. George Steber:

"Dr. George R. Steber, WB9LVI, reviews a tiny vector network analyzer (VNA) introduced for about US$50 and compares its capabilities with full-featured lab grade analyzers that cost thousands of dollars. An RF VNA is the instrument of choice for measuring the electrical parameters of antennas, components, filters and more. Dr. Steber describes his experiences with the tiny VNA, termed a NanoVNA. He begins with a short description of some technical specifications, and relates how he acquired the NanoVNA. He then includes historical details on the evolution of the product. Next, he describes the general architecture of the instrument, and finally he describes the operation of the unit and including examples."

Re: problems

 

looks like messages got mixed up there.


Re: Strange readings on my modded vna.

 

well i made the case for it from copperclad board,stripped it,made sure the copper wasnt shorting the outer of the sma conectors together,a min later one fell off,resoldered it now it seems ok so far,cheers all 73 paul.


Re: First PCB pictures of the V2

 

In my opinium, the on/off and the jog switch can better be swapped.

It¡¯s impossible to work out what you have done from your description, so I
have no idea.

Re: problems

 

Hi Nanovnauser
USB socket ??. The delay is part of the onscreen menu by selection "Display" then "Scale" then "Electrical Delay"
Kind regards
