Re: NanoVNA Saver
Hi Rune, I have made a large number of routine impedance measurements using your V0.0.10 exe binary under Windows 10 Pro 64b. I have not encountered any stability problems and in general think it

Re: Evaluating clamp on ferrite chokes
A |S21| measurement is reasonable. However, the signature for a lossy choke should also be apparent in a S11 measurement. So take a short length of #22 AWG enamel wire and tie it across the CH0 port

Re: Does anyone know how sensitive the nanovna is to electrostatic discharge?
Dave, The minimum energy to cause damage has gone way down over the years as transistor geometries have shrunk, but I don't know specific values. When I started doing chip design, the state of the art

Re: Evaluating clamp on ferrite chokes
Coil coax around a ferrite and connect the outer shield for a S21 measurement. Loss in S21 = choking :) typical ferrite for line noise choking is #31 (also for top bands 160m - 80m). #43 does a great

Evaluating clamp on ferrite chokes
Wondering if anyone has tried to use the nanoVNA to evaluate the properties of the clamp on ferrite chokes that are employed to reduce radio frequency interference (RFI) being emitted by wall wart

Re: Noise
Why is a rubidium standard at 10 kHz offset from the carrier at 10 MHz that noisy? Is the phase noise floor shown limited by the test set? Regards, Alan

Re: Does anyone know how sensitive the nanovna is to electrostatic discharge?
Dave, 50 ohms to ground provides some protection, but often not enough. The standard human body model (HBM) for ESD testing is 1500 ohms in series with 100pF. The 1500 ohms is supposed to represent

Re: Using nanoVNA to measure the directivity of a directional coupler
Here is my RF-bridge measurement. I have blue RF-bridge with two installed jumpers. I'm using more standard RF bridge measurement method: 1) Open CAL menu and calibrate OPEN/SHORT/LOAD as usual 2)

Re: nanoVNA Output Voltage
This is the output from my NanoVNA as measured on an HP 8568B spectrum analyzer in Max Hold mode (50 Ohm input impedance). See attached photos. ~10 MHz -13 dBm ~100 MHz -9 dBm ~300 MHz -9.60 dBm ~600
