I think that a few pictures of your fix would be of help to a lot of hams out there looking for cures to their problems.

Hello Francois, What do you mean "UnUn" means nothing?? It means unbalanced input to unbalanced output. Many filters, band pass, high pass or low pass are UnUn and many impedance matching networks

I should have also mentioned in detail how you measure things. Choose "Display," then "Format S11 (Refl)." Looking down the list you will see "Resistance" and "Reactance." Choose which you want to

I have some SMA right-angle connectors. The center pin of coax is supposed to solder to the inner pin connection in the connector, and the shield is crimped with a ferrule to the connector. But what I

Garry says: ¡°¡ Then attach your inductor. ¡¡± The devil is in the details with such a simple-sounding statement. Attach it how? There are 2 ports on the NanoVNA, each with a center conductor

Re: #measurement - Torroid

I believe the original question was more about "how do I figure out which mix this unmarked toroid is" and for that, measurement accuracy may not be super important, especially if you have some known

Re: #measurement - Torroid

The different measurement techniques usually arise due to the propagation of error. In the case of vna's the measurement methods relate to the impedance of the DUT. You will find a number of articles

Hello Unun means nothing. You should know that the nature of the material of the torus is of great importance if you make a choke (self) with it. If you made a RUTHROFF transformer, it is much less

You might make up some XLR cal loads - Open's easy. Short, and I'd go for a 100 or 120 ohm load, since it's probably shielded twisted pair. But yeah, if you're looking for a fault somewhere in the
