Re: nanovna that continues to indicate 50 ohms when S11 is open
Did you apply RESET prior to CAL. Sounds like a faulty CAL.

Re: Experimental test fixture
Take a measure at 1 MHz. Also, the L value should tend to a larger value as F increases and eventually go parallel resonate on the first loop.

Re: Measuring resonance from coax far end.
Hi Pete, thank you for your interest in this. My European coax cable type "Aircell 7" is not common in the USA. So it was not listed within SimSmith's coax table. In my case length measuring was easy.

Re: Experimental test fixture
Just for fun, I went on Mouser to look for "high frequency" leaded inductors. The only manufacturer they list for such products is Vishay, who has a model TR021 with inductances from 0.022 uH, tested

Experimental test fixture
In the attached image is a picture of the fixture I rigged up for testing leaded components. The two sma connectors are soldered in to the copper on a piece of single side pcb. The center tine of the

Re: First PCB pictures of the V2
These are not intentional sources, just some weak unintended radiation. Bluetooth has a *real transmitter* at 2.4 GHz, where the new nano is likely to be used. Besides slowing down the measurement,

nanovna that continues to indicate 50 ohms when S11 is open
I have a nanovna that continues to indicate 50 ohms when S11 is open. Only if I short-circuit the input will this change. I already calibrated it. But this did not help. Can I do something about this

Re: RF Demo Kit Testing tutorial released
Hello Klaus, Thank you very much for providing the screen shots. I have made two measurements with *Test field 8*. 1. In Test field 8 the inductor looks like to have nominal 470 nH. If you accept a

Re: First PCB pictures of the V2
Hi Gabriel, I found that simple ESD foam acts as quite good EMI absorber, give it a try and insert some of it between/above the cans.

Re: First PCB pictures of the V2
Tried a TCM1-63AX (had these in stock), it gave really strange S11 graphs and not good directivity. Might investigate it further. Crosstalk between microstrips or grounded CPW is low in theory, but my

Aha! There is so "matching" if there is a network involving reactive components, regardless of the designer's intent for the operating frequency. Also, if the cable between the DUT's output and the

Re: A strange S11 from a amplifier #circuit #tutorials #general_vna
The attenuator should be placed at the output of the amplifier, not the input of the VNA. Output attenuation is a technique used to assure an amplifier remains stable throughout its gain/bandwidth
