Re: edy555 design notes on CALIBRATION sets
Oristo, I forgot to mention that I use the NanoVna to measure return loss with good dynamic range. First I tested the S21 performance of the NanoVna with an HP 355D and found that I could measure the

Re: Installed recent firmware - was this a big mistake?
Yes, slow devices >>on the same hub<< can impact thruput of faster devices. USB is, after all, "Universal Serial Bus". so faster devices must toe-tap while slow ones (e.g. HID keyboards and mice)

Re: edy555 design notes on CALIBRATION sets
Thanks for the explanation! I haven't tried this yet but will do what the manuals for the old Gen Rad bridges suggest. They suggest "shunting down" the unknown and out of range impedance with a

Re: edy555 design notes on CALIBRATION sets
Hi Herb - I understood that. Exactly, but (lacking another impedance bridge) I would like to know how far off is nanoVNA measurement using >>MY<< "Mickey Mouse calibration"

Re: How does VNA get the phase angle of S11
They are mixed down for the analog-to-digital converter (ADC), which arguably makes DSP harder, since it has to sort opposite side band suppression. Here is a collection of articles that I find

Re: edy555 design notes on CALIBRATION sets
Oristo, My reading of Alan's post is that he performed a normal OSL calibration at port 0. After that he connected his shorted clips to port 0 and noted the difference between the OSL short and the

Re: edy555 design notes on CALIBRATION sets
Hi Alan - I would be very interested to know what value is reported by nanoVNA for that inductor @ 3 MHz after "Mickey Mouse calibration" by short, open and ~ 50 Ohm resister in alligator clips.

Re: NanoVNA-Saver 0.1.0
Herb, the "cutoff frequency" is the -3 dB point. I should make that more clear, I suppose :-) -- Rune / 5Q5R

Rune, The international definition of bandwidth is actually the -3 dB points. That is what most manufacturers mean in their literature unless specified otherwise. The -6 dB and -60 dB points are more

Re: Installed recent firmware - was this a big mistake?
Hi Bryan, I just confirmed by installing 0.2.2 on my NanoVNA that it does indeed have problems interfacing to my application. I have asked edy555 about it on Twitter, and for my own testing purposes,
