Measuring different results
Today I have been measuring an antenna, and I got some strange results. Perhaps someone out there could give me an answer to the strange results? The antenna is a 2x19.3m dipole, about 6m above

Re: Case for the Nano VNA
Kent, Here is a case I designed for my Nano. It uses Neo magnets to hold the accessories cover in place. The VNA is basically wedged (comfortably) in the opening. I use a 6" SMA to BNC coax cable from

Re: To the RF gurus out there: bandpass filtering S11 harmonic?
Andy, I had noticed the duty cycle limitations in the datasheets for the Philips parts, so I figured that if I did use them, then I would limit output power. Perhaps the TACS part is the more sensible

Roland, Since this is an off topic discussion I will keep it brief. Manufacturers of RF equipment in the USA are subject to the rules laid out in the code of federal regulations (CFR) 47 2.805 when

Re: To the RF gurus out there: bandpass filtering S11 harmonic?
To clarify, I intend to operate at a fixed frequency, no modulation, preferably somewhere in the 900MHz ISM band, driven by an amp operating at less than 5W. Each run of the experiment should only

OT: FCC basis for manufacturers developing products? (Re: [nanovna-users] To the RF gurus out there: bandpass filtering S11 harmonic?)
Roger, I can trace 4 of those 5 to specific sections, but not the "manufacturer developing" case. Do you happen to know whether/where/how that's addressed in the regulations? (I'm not subject to FCC

Roger, My experimental setup should fall under part 18. Realistically, this actually is a scientific piece of equipment - it will be used to perform some science experiments not related to

Re: To the RF gurus out there: bandpass filtering S11 harmonic?
Yes, that's how it decides which harmonics to use.? If it's <threshold, then fundamental on both if >threshold, but < threshold*3 (i.e. 300-900) then source is 3rd harmonic, mixer is 5th - if the

Re: To the RF gurus out there: bandpass filtering S11 harmonic?
I should have said: Even if it wasn't, it would just mean that if the freq variable was greater than the harmonic threshold variable multiplied by 5 (the 5th harmonic) then it would set the frequency

Re: To the RF gurus out there: bandpass filtering S11 harmonic?
Jim, In the code, the following lines are commented out /* if (freq > config.harmonic_freq_threshold * 5 ) { freq /= 7; ofreq /= 9; }else */ Even if it wasn't, it would just mean that if the freq

Re: To the RF gurus out there: bandpass filtering S11 harmonic?
The Tx and Rx sides of the Nano use different multiples (so that the receiver doesn't "detect" the fundamental or "wrong" harmonics from the Tx side) The code seems to say 5 and 7 for Tx, Rx

Re: To the RF gurus out there: bandpass filtering S11 harmonic?
@Jim Lux While I'm pretty sure the nano only uses the fundamental as well as the 3rd and 5th harmonic for measurements, your point is taken. You did give me an idea for a potential solution, and

The ISM band at 900 MHz. is only "unlicensed" for the user/purchaser of the equipment in most countries (UK, EU, US, Canada, Australia etc.) The manufacturer of this equipment MUST have his product

You have to reflash with the correct firmware. To get back to DFU mode you have to short the VDD and Boot0 pins inside the NanoVNA. The procedure is all described in the "Absolute Beginners Guide to
