Re: Does anyone know how sensitive the nanovna is to electrostatic discharge?
I believe the point that Dave Jones was making, is that the surface resistance of the mats does not have any adverse effects on 99.99% of the measurements one makes. I don't think his aim

Re: Firmware with arbitrary scan length
Carlos The nanoVNA has about 5 to 10 dB headroom in S21 in alle ranges. This is done by adjusting the gain off the amplifier before the adc to the frequency range Biggest concern in overloading are

Traces and tracks
What is the difference between traces and tracks? Some firmware are said to be for 2 tracks or 4 tracks. In the Nano you can choose to show different traces. Is it two words for the same thing?

Re: Advice sought on specific measurement.
I'm playing with rather more exotic HW, a Tek 11801 & SD-24 TDR head which is a ~26 ps rise time TDR evaluating the quality of Chinese RF connectors. But the principles are the same and I'm very

Re: Firmware with arbitrary scan length
On professional VNAs, stimulus source is calibrated for flatness on factory with a bolometer. On nanoVNA you can't control stimulus output power, so we should probably calibrate the audio codec gain

Re: Using nanoVNA to measure the directivity of a directional coupler

Re: Using nanoVNA to measure the directivity of a directional coupler
At step 3 you can also use a shorted load. Then you have directivity for short. The two should be close about 0.5 dB. Also reverse IN and OUT to check symmetry.
