Re: nanoVNA Partner #nanovna_partner

 

Hi Mike,

Norton is agressive, Eset NOD32 is work well but not v¨ªruses.
This program work well, without problem.
Thank You neb!

Re: NanoVNA connected to Amazon Fire tablet

 

When I download NanaVNA-Webapp-nightly-e20d9ae.apk from the Github.com/cho45 on my 4 month old Amazon Fire 10. using web browser "Silk" I click on the .apk and get a popup, "Do you Want to Download" I click, "OK" it gives me another popup "Done do you want to open? I click on OPEN and I get "PARSE ERROR - There was a problem parsing the package."
I downloaded the package x2 times. I also tried AKP INSTALLER app I had downloaded and used a number of times.. Same issue. Same error.

Second ITEM.. I have performed the "GOOGLE PLAY install to my Fire" at least 2 months ago, used it a number of times. No problem.. A number of posts talk about downloading "NanoVNA" from GOOGLE PLAY and it will run on the FIRE... When I go to GOOGLE PLAY I do not find any app named "NanoVNA" but find one named BLUE VNA.. and others like Metro VNA by the same author... What is very interesting is I just logged into google play using this Windoze 7 machine and I can find NanoVNA by cho45 just fine. Apparently the issue is on the FIRE. Blue VNA is written by DAn Toma- I can search on either and get it, but NanoVNA or cho45 brings me nothing.. Finally - On my Motorola moto e* plus... NanoVNA by cho45 is 1st on the list...humm.... moto e* is android 8.0.0 the Fire is Fire OS 5.6.4.0... all I can find regarding it's OS.. it was an "on sale" and a lot faster than my 4 yo Samsung.

Merry Christmas..

Consider this post NO COMPLAINT but rather REPORT OF FINDINGS...


Re: errors of "error" models

 

#88 : the G formula - our research work has been completed

Hello,

Allow us, please, to present the complete G formula - in our sow and
facupov, of course - at:



in terms of its measurement g, as well as of S, L, O loads given
by their honest manufacturers as (Nominal Value, Uncertainty)
couples, and their measurements s, l, o respectively - all complex.

By the way, also allow us, please, to announce -with much pleasure,
indeed- that our related research work in this very subject
-
that is on the assumption that the VNA measurement g caused by a
connected to VNA load G can be considered as obeying the equations
of an irreversible, non-reciprocal, two-port - a virtual-real one consisting
of a virtual measurement port and a real load port - along of course with
their errors caused by the inaccuracies of these measurements and the
uncertainties of these loads
-
has been substantially completed, since in our Small Objective World
sow we can not see anymore any further existing omissions in this picture

Re: Thermal effect?

 

Yeah, the original Nano (and mini/pocket VNA, plus most old HP gear) are like that. It's possible to remove the drift (and I mean not having to re-calibrate after warmup) with an internal correction switch (basically a switch that shorts port 1 to ground) which I've added in my design; hopefully others will follow.


Re: Thermal effect?

 

The difference is, that after warmup one gets repeatable results. When I calibrated the cold VNA and started to measure, maybe the very first results showed true numbers, but very soon results drifted (see the figure to my initial posting). I feel much better when repeated measurement show the same number. Otherwise there is always a bad taste...

Re: Calibration Algorithm #calibration

 

Look in the source code of nanoVNA-saver on github

Or if you only require perfect calibration standards use this:


plusJ=complex(0,1);
minJ=complex(0,-1);
one=complex(1,0);
two=complex(2,0);


gm1 = S; #Measured Short
gm2 = O; #Measured Open
gm3 = L; #Measured Load
s21m = T; #Measured Through


g1=complex(-1,0)

g2=complex(1,0);

g3=complex(0,0);

denominator = g1.*(g2 .- g3).*gm1;
denominator = denominator .+ g2.*g3.*gm2 .- g2.*g3.*gm3 .- (g2.*gm2 .- g3.*gm3).*g1;
e00 = - ((g2.*gm3 .- g3.*gm3).*g1.*gm2 .- (g2.*g3.*gm2 .- g2.*g3.*gm3 .- (g3.*gm2 .- g2.*gm3).*g1).*gm1) ./ denominator;
e11 = ((g2.-g3).*gm1.-g1.*(gm2.-gm3).+g3.*gm2.-g2.*gm3) ./ denominator;
deltaE = - ((g1.*(gm2.-gm3).-g2.*gm2.+g3.*gm3).*gm1.+(g2.*gm3.-g3.*gm3).*gm2) ./ denominator;

e10e32 = s21m .* (one - (e11.*e11));

ed = e00;
es = e11;
et = deltaE;

th = e10e32;

Calibration Algorithm #calibration

 

Hello
I'm just completing a nice project in Python to Autotune a Magnetic Loop antenna using this great NanoVNA.
So far, so good, but now I would like to include a calibration procedure so as to be applied on imported raw data.
Could someone help me to understand how I get a "calibrated" S11 value for a given frequency for which I have the "measured", "load", "open", and "short" values.
Many thanks in advance!
Daniel


Re: Thermal effect?

 

In the miniVNA (VNA / J) software there is a thermometer.
The green light only occurs above 45 ¡ã. I missed this information on nanoVNA.

Re: conecting to a homebrew hf verticle antenna

aparent1/kb1gmx
 

First item, NVIS:
Near impossible with a vertical. Not going to happen above about 5mhz under
current solar conditions. Suitable antenna would be a dipole for 80/75M low to
the ground. Low in this case is just high enough to keep people from touching it.
I run mine at about 10ft, very good for local contacts out to maybe 500 to
600 miles not DX. A friend uses magnet wire on the top of a wood fence.

Vertical likely for bands higher than about 30M the takeoff angle will be high
and higher because the antenna being too long. For below 30M it should
have a fairly low takeoff angle if fed against a good ground or radials.
For 10M the bulk of radiation is mostly up and through the ionosphere.

If you measure it with a VNA you will see wile excursions in feed point impedance
mostly low. Its a non resonant antenna fr most ham bands. The likely impedance
is the antenna plus the ground loss and with a poor ground expect a fair amount
being loss to ground resistance (varies with quality of ground and radials).

FYI-- RULE 3: any antenna is better than a bucket or wire in the shed.

They all work at least some.

My best contact on 40m was with a dipole at 2" (yes inches) height over 1300
miles and 10W. I forgot it was not up yet and heard the station on the radio
so I called. I give it two inches as they lawn had just been mowed.

Re: First PCB pictures of the V2

 

Gabriel,
I think it would be advantageous to at least place the solder pads for an SD TF card slot as I had on my original white Gecko board.

Just leave them unpopulated for now and when the firmware has become more mature and has update via SD ability (like the NanoVNA-F), folks can add the slot.
See my photos:?

Unpopulated TF pads:? /g/nanovna-users/photo/0/0?p=Created,,,20,1,0,0
Added card slot from old cellphone:? /g/nanovna-users/photo/0/43?p=Created,,,20,1,40,0
As for a new name, how about i-VNA or E-VNA or VNA-3G?? Everything these days has the letter 'i' in front of the name.....;-)

I replaced the jog switch with 3 edge mount through-hole pushbuttons. Any more suggestions (minor changes) before I submit the design for one more round of prototyping?

I am not the owner of the "nanovna" account on GitHub. To be clear, I'm at OwOComm which is a design contractor and does *not* market and sell NanoVNA devices. We are only responsible for the hardware design work which is why the repositories aren't on the OwOComm or my GitHub. I can answer technical and engineering questions only. Because the design will be open sourced we expect many independent manufacturers to be producing these at some point, and what they name it is beyond my control. In fact, the internal name of this project is "S-A-A" for Simple Antenna Analyzer. In a requirements discussion the customer described it to be an "improved NanoVNA, or V2", and the name has stuck thereafter. Since this is the name that all end users on the internet now recognize, I expect that the manufacturer and distributors will run with this name and there is nothing I can do about it. Sorry.
