Re: checking inductance
Not actually pulses, it's a CW measurement. It puts a CW signal out at a frequency, and uses a bridge to measure the impedance (or reflection coefficient) at that frequency by comparing the amplitude

Re: checking inductance
I believe it works like this: It sends a pulse of RF at the Nano's 'start frequency' and analyzes the phase and amplitude of the return signal (like an echo?). Then it sends a pulse at the next

Re: Common ground and 2-port measuring
Oops, yes.. I used those because I had an application where I wanted to be able to change the turns ratio, so I have a 6 pin DIP socket, and I can plug in the T1, the T4 (2:1), or the T16 (4:1). And

Re: Using VNA to test NFC tags
Well the data sheet doesn't say much about the electrical properties of the interface other than to say it's 50pF and compliant with the $600 spec.. However, this ap note on antenna design..

Re: Common ground and 2-port measuring
You have a typo in the component name - it's "X65", not "65X", but great find! https://www.minicircuits.com/pdfs/T1-1T-X65.pdf

Re: Using VNA to test NFC tags
Yeah, the NFC Forum restricted those specs a while ago, for the good of mankind I'm sure. The 2011 and 2013 versions are still out in the wild on Google. But NFC Forum is not the chip company. This

Re: Using VNA to test NFC tags
And of course, the RF interface spec for the chip is something you have to buy from NFC Forum. (for the princely sum of $600) It's just a transformer with high leakage inductance. That is, you can

Re: Common ground and 2-port measuring
google for "woodward balun balance quality 1983" The paper works through the math of using a VNA to do the measurement as a 3 port device. Yes, and they publish N-port VNA measurements. 4 port for

Re: checking inductance
I agree with Jim Lux. The inductance of an "ideal" inductor does not vary with frequency but any physical ("real world") inductor will have its inductance vary with frequency. In the case of an air

Re: Test an antenna tuning unit input circuit
The answer(s) to your question depends on what you want to know about it and what type of Tuner it is. For example, I have a homemade manual Tuner that I built many years ago, and, having learned a

Re: checking inductance
ideal inductors have zero diameter conductors with zero resistance, and the inductance is proportional (approximately) to *square* of turns, (if all the turns are equally well magnetically coupled)

Re: checking inductance
Marco is correct. The inductance L does not change with frequency (except for the small non-linear effects of the core materials). HOWEVER, all real inductors also have parasitic capacitance and

Re: checking inductance
What you say is correct but that is nitpicking : The value of an inductor does not change with increasing or decreasing frequency . 100?H now equals 100?H just as 100KOhm is equal to 100KOhm . If

Re: Test an antenna tuning unit input circuit
Some ATUs "remember" the tuning setting when power is off, others don't. (i.e. some use latching relays, others don't). What you should see, looking into the tuner, is the S11 with a dip at the tuned
