Re: errors of "error" models
It occurred to me the T-check is the single vna equivalent of the vna comparison formula (ratio of cross ratios) The T-check also works if you connect the same single load to port 1 AND port 2 which

Re: Cancelling out coax feeder length?
Very good on the saver. On the hardware side, the delay when entered handles the "de-embedding" or negation directly. In any case, a hands on exercise or experiment is probably with a ton of

Re: Cancelling out coax feeder length?
Be aware you have to enter a negative offset delay in the calibration panel of nanoVNA-saver when de-embedding a cable or stripline But it works! -- NanoVNA Wiki:

Gabriel Tenna White's version 2 hardware and firmware design efforts are well documented on this forum and on her GitHub pages. Hugen and edy555 reportedly have version 2 efforts in the work, but so

Re: errors of "error" models
Next to the 25ohm check and the T-check, Kurt wrote an excellent proposal on how anyone can check another aspect of the quality of the calibration /g/nanovna-users/message/4609 What

Re: errors of "error" models
I guess this is why R&S introduced the T-check many years ago as a simple approach to establish quality of measurement In my own simple words, L calibration establishes the center of the smith chart,

Re: errors of "error" models
Gary, are you saying that different "characterized" SOL standards, when measured after calibration, produce identical results. (-1,0,1)? If so, this is not true -- they produce the results equivalent

Re: What is the best method to measure a stripline impedance with the nanoVNA????
Thanks , it worked out very well. Given a 900MHz max frequency I was able to use a 2 inch stripline, find the frequency for its 1/4 wavelength and then measure the reactance at 1/2 the 1/4 wavelength
