nanoVNA - Measuring the resonant frequency of crystals #tutorials #video #measurement


 

Great video, Gregg. Thanks very much.

Raoul,

If you are interested in more info on measuring crystals with your NanoVNA I suggest the video by W2AEW on this subject. He carefully explains the terms and definitions and compares various testing methods. He has an extensive collection of videos and is well respected for the clarity and technical accuracy of what he presents. Quite a few recent ones deal with NanoVNA subjects.

Well, I'm an electrical engineer and I found it very useful.

Roger: That is a very excellent and thorough video on how to do a complete
characterization of a crystal, however, I think it is directed towards a
different target audience than the video I originally posted on this
thread. Not everyone is an engineer nor do they want or need to go into
that kind of depth, that amount of math, or that amount of trouble to build
test fixtures, etc...

The average joe with a handful of unknown crystals probably just wants to
know in a simple manner how to quickly and effectively use a nanoVNA and a
set of alligator clips to determine the frequency of resonance and then
label each crystal. This is the intended target audience of the video
originally posted on this thread. The video also takes one step back and
simply explains the series and parallel resonant modes of a crystal, which
has been well received by many who always wanted to know in a clear and
simple way what these two terms mean.
