Re: Bad Coax...feedback requested
You might try rapping the connectors on the ends of the line and check for any changes in S11 or S21 response. S21 loss should be less then -0.5 dB @ 30 MHz for 350' of 1.25" hardline. If connectors

Re: errors of "error" models
I hesitate to jump into this, but... The "correction coefficients" that professional VNAs apply to compensate for, e.g., fringing capacitance in the opens, are not just electrical measurements of

Re: First PCB pictures of the V2
Good to hear that better symmetry is a solution. The problem with tuning as you do now is that it is frequency dependent. Maybe you can try to increase the pcb trace length to compensate for the

Re: Bad Coax...feedback requested
Robert, It would be desirable if you could also measure the transmission through the cable, including both magnitude and phase versus frequency. Plus any info you have about the supposed

¤Ï¤¡ (ha), that did the trick. I did the surgery on only one leg so there is still some imbalance, but the directivity improved from 8dB to 16dB, on par with the performance with tuning (see

Re: Bad Coax...feedback requested
The S11 plot is attached...not pleasing at all. VNA measurements require phase stables cables. The ones I use for microwave use (upto 26.5 GHz) are 24¡± long and cost $5000 a pair. The changes in

Re: First PCB pictures of the V2
Hi Gabriel, As an experiment, you could try to make a more symmetrical balun by placing the core vertically over the pcb and making sure the wires have equal length. Another request, could you publish

Re: Bad Coax...feedback requested
From: Robin Midgett I've calibrated my NanoVNA & connected it to an approximate 350' length of coax with a known good dummy load on the opposite end. The S11 plot is attached...not pleasing at all.

For an N connector, the seller must have an adapter option with a calibration kit. My counterpart. It is very convenient to work. And the BNC option should be similar. It solves many technological
