Re: Correction of error introduce by a transmission line connect to the VNA port 1


 

why not just calibrate at the cable end??

much easier as messing with the long delay ... not?!?

ps did you check open and short (with cable!!)?!?!?

Hello,
Thanks, everyone for your tips.
Finally, this is what I've done.
Best regards

Rather than cutting the cable, you should calibrate with the cable attached
to the nanovna, attaching the calibration standards at the other end of the
cable, using connector adapters if necessary. This way ensures that all
aspects of the cable (length, loss, etc.) are compensated for by the
calibration, perfectly removing all those circles from the smith chart.

Hello Siegfried,
Thanks for your response.
So If I cut more of my cable could I reduce the number of circles (the
phase shift)?. I struggle to correct the delay with a lot of circles.
Best regards.

You have to calibrate at the cable end with open short load
And with such big cable soldered to such a tiny pcb your results will
be
at least questionable...
On so high frequencies even an sma to n adaptor will shift your smith
90
degrees around... A long cable if not calibrated out will show a
handfull
of circles (as you can see)..

Hello everyone,
I am a beginner in using the NanoVNA, I have a calibration problem
after
connecting a transmission line into the VNA. You can see some
pictures
of
the result in the attached document after connecting the cable to the
VNA
in the attached file.
Could someone tell me how to correct the impedance shift introduced
by
the
cable? Thanks
I went to the "electrical delay" menu to correct the problem by
adding
a
delay but it got worse. I don't know what to do.

I want to solder the cable afterwards into a PCB where we have
antenna
traces.
