Re: Common ground and 2-port measuring
The diagram from Miro F9LR is very generalized. It is not specific for the case where the DUT is a common mode current choke (current balun). It might be helpful to review what a common mode choke is

Re: NanoVNA Is it possibel to add RFI capability
Well.. you already see the multifunction capability (Spectrum Analyzer, 1 direction VNA) in popular instruments like the Keysight Fieldfox, and similar devices from Anritsu, etc. There will always be

Re: Common ground and 2-port measuring
Standard and required practice with anything RF: BOTH ENDS of the shield of a coaxial cable must be appropriately connected at their respective ends / ports. Here is my setup for measuring CMRR.

Re: NanoVNA Is it possibel to add RFI capability
That may be true now but with the constant advance in technology and miniaturisation it seems quite likely future developments will add a substantial range of test capabilities to miniaturised NVA's.

You are right :) Here is a quick diagram (see attached) that shows: * 2 port setup * internally bonded grounds for two nanoVNA ports * two "available" paths the return current can take (through DUT

If you can put together a small computer / display with an RTL-SDR unit, that would work great for that purpose. My favorite USB SDR unit so far is the FunCube dongle. Zack W9SZ

Re: Common ground and 2-port measuring
You can measure the insertion loss of a common mode choke made from coaxial cable that is air wound or wound on a ferrite core by connecting the shield end of the choke between the center conductors
