Was just over reading Roger’s excellent thread on using a VNA to examine discrete components. I figured I should be clear with everyone that the method I presented below is not and was never intended to be used for higher frequency work. If you’re trying to determine device behaviour at higher frequencies, perhaps for an RF project you might be working on, the method of measuring inductors and capacitors that I presented in the video linked below is not suitable. The intent is to give people a simple way to quickly measure inductor and capacitor values at lower frequencies so as to simply discover or verify the basic component values. Using alligator clips at higher frequencies is not going to give very good results, so if you’re wanting to characterize a component at higher frequencies then you would be well advised to go take a peek at Roger’s thread here: /g/nanovna-users/topic/pitfalls_of_measuring/80744049?p=
