errors of "error" models

Dear Gary,

Thank you.

Well, we are now proceeding carefully, step-by-step, by multi-checking
and cross-verifying the results with all available independent procedures,
including the [NanoVNA] internal one, as well as both of these you are
mentioning, because our two experimental two-ports are consisting of
DC Resistive Taus, with a third one being under construction, having in
our minds to demonstrate all possible cases by three, representative,
as much as possible, practical applications - if it is possible at all, of course,
since we don't know and we will see. Anyway, up to now all of the results
are too encouraging - permitting a cautious optimism - but we will see.

I am very much familiar with the feeling of "cautious optimism", and I completely respect, appreciate, and support your careful scrutiny of the process details. I am looking forward to reviewing your results, and replicating them independently.

Dear Gary,

Your decision is really great.

So, would you allow us, please, to ask you if could you reconsider your other
decision: 27 October 2019 - /g/nanovna-users/message/5815
regarding our: 21 October 2019 -/g/nanovna-users/message/5395
invitation?

Best regards,

gin&pez@arg


 

Good morning GIN&PEZ;

To the extent that I can contribute in some positive manner, I am certainly willing to do so under the careful scrutiny of your editorial council to prevent propagating incorrectly interpreted understanding. I have already been sufficiently rewarded by your patience and willingness to reach out to the amateur radio community, and myself in particular, as an independent resource to challenge the results of your research. It is an honor to be invited as a contributor, and I will endeavor to become credit worthy.

Please keep in mind that my knowledge of your work is continuing to evolve; and my resources here are limited. Exhaustive and testing with precise accuracy is likely out of my reach. You have been warned. :-)

REF: 17 December 2019 - /g/nanovna-users/message/8335

- Dear Gary: this is obviously another experiment by itself - the objective is
to investigate the possibility of an openly edited paper - at least one - and
the paper by itself constitutes a concrete knowledge target - needless to say
how much interesting we find this scientific procedure - best regards,
gin&pez@arg - ps: let us know, please, if it is easy enough for you to get
the basic paper by Hackborn from a nearby Library -


 

GIN&PEZ;

Indeed an interesting experiment, and one of which my contribution may be quite small and insignificant. :-)

I am certain I can (with some effort) locate the reference Hackborn article, but with limited effort on the web, I also have not met with success.

I have however found references to his work, and also the works of others pursuing goals quite similar to yours. Acknowledging that your work, as well as there¡¯s spans decades, and that Hackborn¡¯s paper serves as a reference standard for comparison, it is unlikely I will be the investigator most capable of finding noteworthy feature differences, flaws, or revelations. At best I would expect to gain understanding and confidence in the results I am able to achieve.

Having said that; I would remiss to make assumptions that you are (in deference to my judgement), intimately aware of ¡°all¡± similar efforts past and present. To that end I will alert you to information that you may wish to review and comment on for relevance before I confuse myself with Information overload.

The following by example:



Also a possible item of interest is a Patented scheme (US6,300,775B1) with similar stated goals, by far exceeding my current math skills.

Good morning GIN&PEZ;

I am confused by your comment of number 4 being redundant. I am OK with the remainder.

Dear Gary,

Thank you, very much indeed, because you noticed this !

Well, in our sow this means :

"keep the signal flow diagrams, use them to correctly express the
relations between a-s and b-s at joining ports, and forget the -most
disorientating- "rules" of them".

And we used it in this way for more than 25 years until last January
2019, when we found -with much pleasure, indeed- its full independent
justification at:

D. M. Kerns and R. W. Beatty, "Basic Theory of Wave guide Junctions and
Introductory Microwave Network Analysis" [*], Part 2, Introductory Microwave
Network Analysis, 2.18 Signal Flow Graph Applied to the Scattering Equations
pp.123-124, International Series of Monographs in Electromagnetic Waves,
Editors: A. L. Cullen, V. A. Fock J. R. Wait, Volume 13, Pergamon Press Inc,
First Edition, 1967:

"(f) Comments on use of signal ?ow graphs

This technique offers nothing fundamentally new and, if correctly applied, yields
the same results one would obtain by solutions of the scattering equations.
It seems to be simpler in some eases to write down the solutions by inspection of
diagrams rather than by algebraic manipulations. However, one must he careful
not to miss any of the loops, and this is a possible source of difficulty, especially
when we are dealing with 3-ports, 4-ports, or more complicated networks.

As a graphical aid to intuitive thinking about the analysis of systems, it is no doubt
valuable, and is therefore a tool to supplement conventional algebraic analysis."

#88 : the G formula - our research work has been completed

Hello,

Allow us, please, to present the complete G formula - in our sow and
facupov, of course - at:



in terms of its measurement g, as well as of S, L, O loads given
by their honest manufacturers as (Nominal Value, Uncertainty)
couples, and their measurements s, l, o respectively - all complex.

By the way, also allow us, please, to announce -with much pleasure,
indeed- that our related research work in this very subject
-
that is on the assumption that the VNA measurement g caused by a
connected to VNA load G can be considered as obeying the equations
of an irreversible, non-reciprocal, two-port - a virtual-real one consisting
of a virtual measurement port and a real load port - along of course with
their errors caused by the inaccuracies of these measurements and the
uncertainties of these loads
-
has been substantially completed, since in our Small Objective World
sow we can not see anymore any further existing omissions in this picture
facupov From A Common User's Point Of View.

Sincerely,

gin&pez@arg

:88#


 

When I use the well known formula's used for calibration (%i16) and I do a linsolve twice to get G expressed in only g,s,l,o,S,L,O and then I write out all the multiplications I get (%o20)
Factoring out your equation gives
(%o29)

As these are not the same I must be doing something wrong?????

Dear Erik,

If we understand correctly, we have to start from [1]:




and transfer * c o r r e c t l y * their equations to Maxima, as in [1]:



and/or as in [2]:

/g/nanovna-users/attachment/8473/Check.PNG

But, we think that, as it seems, there is a wrong transferring of them
regarding some signs, as well as an interchanging of small letters
with capital ones regarding the names of variables.

Would you check for us, please, these two particular points ?
