Re: Measuring switch isolation Re: [nanovna-users] Connect VNA thru tuner to antenna
Thanks Jim. Still learning this neat tool. So just the phase trace is all thats needed on s21 to measure isolation? Are results frequency dependent? Bryan, n0luf

Re: Group Delay Wiggles
Don't do "double calibration", it just forces the device to do interpolation between points. The note in documentation remains there for misbehaving devices that would give out or range values when

Re: Group Delay Wiggles
Thanks for all of the help. The plots are very enlightening. it seems like this explains this. In response to the on device calibration, is disabling it simply unchecking the apply button? And also

Re: Firmware upgrade for original nanovna
If you do not have the version 0.8 as *.bin (or *.dfu) file I would propose to save it from device before you flash the new version. Dunno how to do it on windows, on linux I use "dfu-util -d

Re: Nanovna parts screen #buying
Saa2n has a custom display pcb... So you must buy a "normal" 4 inch display and desolder the flatband cable (if display screen is broken)... Or you must ask the seller to send you a display (if it is

Re: Firmware upgrade for original nanovna
0.8 is an extremely old version. This should work on your device: https://github.com/DiSlord/NanoVNA-D/releases/download/v1.2.20/NanoVNA.H.v1.2.20.dfu In case you were worried about "bricking" your

Measuring switch isolation Re: [nanovna-users] Connect VNA thru tuner to antenna
Measuring switch isolation. Let's say your switch has a common, and 4 switched outputs A,B,C,D Hook the VNA up to Ch0 to A and Ch1 to B, put a load on Common, set the switch to A, and measure the S21.

Re: Connect VNA thru tuner to antenna
I've done similar with antenna analyzers in the past and currently with a VNA. Switches I've used provided sufficient isolation...so far.

Hi Jim, How do you do that? [ "But it's good to check (and hey, you could use the NanoVNA to measure it)." ] Bryan, n0luf

Re: Firmware upgrade for original nanovna
Roger, Thanks for the link. It doesn't look like my original Nanovna needs updating. I assume that the updates for the later versions would not be suitable. Don m5aky

Well guys n gals I found my issue at last! The coax i was useing is (ok) if I'm using a tuner but horrible if running straight through. I was getting super high swr. Today I remembered I had a string

Re: Group Delay Wiggles
just to illustrate how a small error can show up in group delay, I simulated what you'd get with a 2 meter cable
By Jim Lux · #33140 ·
Re: Group Delay Wiggles
This is a good point.. In addition, you might use a sim program to simulate an ideal line with a small discontinuity, and see what kind of wiggles you get. Think of this - you're doing an S21

Re: Group Delay Wiggles
I hope you disable internal NanoVNA calibration and use only NanoVNA Saver calibration Linear Interpolation (used in internal calibration if points count or frequency range not equal) can give errors

Re: Group Delay Wiggles
Two easy explanations (assuming a perfect cable) are: 1) The 2 port cal doesn't necessarily take into account that the Ch1 (port 2) isn't perfect. 2) Your S/O/L loads for cal aren't perfect (or more

Can anyone explain these wiggles. I am just measuring the group delay of a 2m cable with NanoVNA Saver using a 1MHz to 701MHz 1212pts 3average sweep. I used both a NanoVNA H4 and NanoVNA V2, but the

Re: Connect VNA thru tuner to antenna
Since you've been doing this a while, you don't have an issue, but in general, one would want to make sure the isolation between switch ports is high enough to make sure that when you run 100w to the
