@Alex: Thanks for your suggestion ... I am actually aware of the Analog Discovery, however, its usable band-width is too low for my purposes. Also, its intrinsic noise level is quite high thus not really providing any benefit from its high resolution ADCs (although it may be fine for PDN measurements). Additionally, the bandwidth available IIRC is only available on the ADC whereas the generator outputting the signal to be used in the PDN calculations only goes to 12 or 15 MHz'ish. If I had the money I would buy their new Pro version (here assuming that the input noise level is much lower) - but currently I just don't.
In the last couple of days I have been reading into the use of Joe Smith's software and my feel is that there would be a learning curve but that I can do this in a sort of "segmented" way, i.e. topic by topic. The only real issue that I have not been able to find a solution for is where to find & buy this original nanoVNA (again, preferably in the EU) so that I can be sure that - given correct upgrades - it will work without hazzles. I have found this one which appears to be original (developed by Hugen) but I'm not sure that it is the one Joe Smith refers to. Would you happen to know about this?
Joe is on this list, but maybe a direct email to him might be useful?
