Re: Coax length and defect identification
A true TDR sends out a short pulse and looks at the time it takes for that pulse to return. The NANO VNA sweeps frequency and notes where the frequency when reflected impedance approaches Infinity and

Re: Wish list of future features for nanovna
"..cost beyond the software development." does not imply that software is free, on the contrary, it explicitly recognizes that cost. Even a "bad and slow" SA function is better than nothing if there

Re: Coax length and defect identification
It's a wonderful, very useful feature. Very quick and easy to use, no other settings to make. It does use a different method than TDR, and is explained in the info for the first firmware version that

Re: Wish list of future features for nanovna
Why do you think software development is free? However, adding a spectrum analyzer function to NanoVna is not a good idea, it will be a bad and slow analyzer with a lot of limitations.

Hello I have never used this kind of small spectrum analyzer TinySA - I read that there are at least 2 software on PC (like nanoVNA-saver) which allow to connect the small box TinySA. I don't want to

Re: Coax length and defect identification
Let's go back to basics and use only the basic behavior of an open and shorted 1/4-wavelength of coax (in the cable, not physical length: SHORTED END measures as an open OPEN END measures as a short

Re: Coax length and defect identification
Thanks for your suggestion, Stan. I will attempt to reset the sweep range to a lower stop frequency, but it won¡¯t happen until tomorrow. I did make return loss and characteristic impedance

Re: Wish list of future features for nanovna
Yahbut you've already got the sweeping receivers and log amp/detectors, adding rudimentary SA functions is just code. That is why so many instruments, including from the big manufacturers, combine

S21 Function does not work with NanoVNA-saver
It works with the NanoVNA-app software and the screen is correct. But the -saver S21 is just a scatter pattern. Help! Any idea what is wrong?

That's pretty close to 50 ft. Sure it's a 100 ft coil?

Re: Coax length and defect identification
Also, for a cable that long using the 101pt scan, you need to set your stop frequency to about 70MHz to see the reflection from the whole length of the cable. So what you are seeing now may be due to

Re: Coax length and defect identification
You didn't mention this but to me what you have determined is that there is something causing an indication close to the centre of your coax, have you visually inspected where the VNA is indicating
