Re: Strange bug with 5 kHz span
Hi, I have tested a lot of firmware version, and never one of them has allowed a frequency step below 100Hz. Are you sure of your previous test ? To have a firmware allowing a more precise frequency

Re: RX-Port Input Impedance
Hi qrp.ddc The way you wrote "by connecting Ch0 with Ch1" it was obvious the you missed the end of cable calibration ? Always remember a test cable is part of the instrument as you are forced to

Re: Evaluating clamp on ferrite chokes
Thanks all for the replies with detailed information, and also the links, which provide a treasure of information. It looks like the nanoVNA will be extremely helpful in looking at the snap-on ferrite

Re: on the comparisons
Hello Reg, I brought up this question of uncertainty in measurements several posts ago. Although the calculation is not complicated, obtaining the parameters to find the uncertainty boundaries is a

Re: NanoVNA Saver
Maurizio, thank you very much! I see the use for separate segments, certainly, but with the current architecture of the code, it's not easily achievable. Many, many parts of the code assume uniform

Re: Saving results without a PC?
Bruce, You could calibrate the device, make the measurement of interest, go to "Stimulus", press "Pause Sweep", and the data is saved in the nanovna. The device under test can be removed and the data

Re: Strange bug with 5 kHz span
Just tested, with previous firmware version (nanoVNA_900_ch_20190802.dfu) it works ok with 5 kHz span. I tried even 10 Hz span and it works ok. But the new firmware version

Saving results without a PC?
I am finally understanding the concept of calibrations and saving the settings/range in the nanoVNA. But I am wondering if there is any way to save results from out in the field and then

How does one calculate the uncertainties of an out of calibration VNA and calibration kit bought on ebay? In an ideal world everyone would do as you ask. But the nanoVNA has made it possible for

Re: Strange bug with 5 kHz span
I've seen at least one firmware version where the minimum attainable step size was 100Hz. I don't exactly know why, but your findings fit my observations as well. -- Rune

Strange bug with 5 kHz span
I catch some strange bug in the latest firmware. I tried to get better resolution around 26.996500 MHz to see crystal resonance. Span 10 kHz works ok. But when I trying to setup span=9 kHz or 5 kHz or

Re: Evaluating clamp on ferrite chokes
I tried the S21 method. Connected the 2 center pins (CH0 and CH1) to the choke ends (coax shield on both ends). -20dB at the frequency of interest is a decent common mode attenuation. -30dB is good.

Yes, that's all you need. I ran a similar case with a single strand of #22 AWG with and without the addition of the lossy core material. Although very nice particularly for looking at common mode
