Re: NanoVNA-Saver 0.2.0


 

I Bob,
It very basic.
I made one turn on BN43-202 ferrite core and connect it to CH0 of Nano VNA.
And put frequency range to 100Khz -> 30MHz with logarithmic scale on all axes.
David.

David, can you explain exactly how you got the curves? I would like to do it also.
Bob

Hi All,
I add some explanations.
I asked Rune if he could add this graphic because it is very useful.
It display curves that have exactly the same shape as the complex permitivity curves (¦Ì'r and ¦Ì''r) of the ferrite datasheets.

The values do not match those of the constructor curve ( to have the right value the software might know the exact geometry of the inductor) , but the shape is absolutely identical.

This allow to easy identify unknown ferrite core, and to better understand how to use it in a RF device.

For example, here is the true curve of material 43 of Fair rite.



And here's the one I got with NanoVNASaver


It works really well.
David, F4HTQ.

Hi John,
my experiments in this field have been very limited - the feature was added with the encouragement of David F4HTQ. He submitted to me an S2P file of a measurement of a toroid, and a curve shape:




He believed this could be approximated as R/¦Ø and X/¦Ø, so I implemented it, and managed to create the following graph:

Which seemed to fit quite well, even though the units aren't exactly the same.

So, for now, all I know how to do is: Given a permeability chart from a manufacturer, replicate the same curve shape vs frequency using the NanoVNA.

I hope it's useful ;-)

Now that the capability is there in the software, how would one use
the NanoVNA to check a toroid's permeability? New territory for me...
