Kurt,
Thanks for the information. I tried the link you included in your
conversation but it was "Link not found". i would be interested in looking
at these SOL kits.

Hello Ed
SDR-Kits has both SMA and BNC calibration kits which is documented. Soon
there will also be 5 parts N calibration kit The 4 parts BNC and N kit is
universal as being both male and female. Individual data for each kit will
be provided on a paper slip for BNC and N and also as downloaded
calibration kit file suited for the VNWA, which is a file to read with a
text editor for copy paste purpose.
For the SMA find the documentation in attached file or from my homepage
link below
As the NanoVNA does not have facilities for settings of calibration kit
data (assumes ideal kit) the application NanoVNA-saver by Rune Broberg has
facilities for entering such individual calibration kit data.

If you chose this way to get good quality calibration kit do not hesitate
to contact me for how to utilize the NanoVNA-saver facilities as there are
some details to consider with the NanoVNA-saver.
Kind regards
Kurt

Emne: [nanovna-users] Calibration standards
I'm a newbie and my only experience with VNAs is borrowing a friend's AIM
4170 from time to time for antenna measurements. I recently purchased a
NanoVNA-H and am waiting for it to arrive. I was thinking of building some
calibration standards for SMA and N (both sexes) but I have almost talked
myself out of it. I don't have access to a precision VNA to accurately
measure any standards that I build and I don't think I can accurately
measure the offset length to virtually move the reference plane. For now,
my needs only require measuring up to 500MHz but it would be nice to go
1.2GHz in the future. My needs are strictly amateur, but I would like the
ability to accurately measure home made phasing lines, power dividers,
chokes, etc. Can anyone recommend standards meant for amateurs that are of
decent quality and come with measurement data?
Thanks!
