Re: Measuring the output impedance of a 20m push-pull power pre-amp
#transformer
A quick question on impedance. I'm using a NanoVNA H4 for simply checking SWR on antennas across the various amatuer HAM bands. It seems to work great. However, I've also been curious about the

Re: Measuring the output impedance of a 20m push-pull power pre-amp

picoguy, I infer that you have a class B push-pull amplifier you are measuring. S-parameters are by definition characteristics of a linear small-signal device. Any non-Class A power amplifier will

Re: #general SD card function on H4
#general
Some earlier versions of FW had timing issues. Use the latest HUGEN or DiSlord FW for the H4 and you should be OK.

Re: #general SD card function on H4

Hi Rudy! Be sure to have the unit fully charged, and use a SD card max 32GB formatted with FAT32. Turn unit OFF, insert the card and then ON again. If you try to put it the wrong way, there is some

I have a new H4 with a micro SD port. The port polarity is not marked on the case but with a little care I was able to insert it correctly. However, when I try to save a screen plot I get "fail

Re: Measuring the output impedance of a 20m push-pull power pre-amp

1) The impedance of the primary, the collectors, is highly dependent on drive level from the previous stage. Looking into the 50-ohm port with the VNA even with the PP output stage properly biased but

Measuring the output impedance of a 20m push-pull power pre-amp
#transformer
Hi, I'm in the process of building a BJT transistor based push-pull amplifier that I hope will develop 1 watt to drive a final power amp stage. The design is relatively common. It uses a pair of

Hi , Sometimes I have tis problem as well, mostly it helps when I delete the .ini file in NanoVNA-App's directory? restart the application and set my preferences again. Just my 2 cents, Joss. Op

Re: NanoVNA and PC.
Wow - that is really strange that your unit works with old FW but not the newer FW. My last suggestion is to try to remove all references to the STM drivers and use USBDview to reset the USB devices
