Re: NanoVNA-Saver 0.1.0
Bob,You don't need a torque wrench for this device - it's just not that critical IMO.?An alternative would be the small 3d printed rings that were discussed a couple of weeks ago.?Also, take the

Re: NanoVNA-Saver 0.1.0
I just measured about -10 dBm into 50 Ohms at both 100 MHz and 10 MHz.? Not enough to be illegal. Bob

Hmm. I measured 100mV PK-PK into 50 ohms at 50 kHz. My scope drops off at high frequencies (as do all). Output is, of course, a square wave. ? A [email protected]> wrote:

Re: edy555 design notes on CALIBRATION sets
Several years ago I investigated potentiometers with the lowest possible reactance up through 30 MHz. I found the Allen Bradley TYPE J and specifically a 1 k ohm P/N JA1G044P102B exceptionally good.

Re: NanoVNA-Saver: Testers wanted
Hello Rune, If you haven't done so already, please add my name to your list of Alpha testers if you would like. I will be testing on a Dell Laptop computer running Windows 10 and an iMac under Mojave

Re: NanoVNA-Saver 0.1.0
Bob, If you ever decide to upgrade your firmware you may run into something similar. My second NanoVNA arrived with only the 2 trace firmware installed. When I tried to upgrade to the 4 trace firmware

Re: edy555 design notes on CALIBRATION sets
I made a page about this: https://oristopo.github.io/nVhelp/html/bridge.htm Basically, unbalanced bridge sensitivity is non-linear; for bridges balanced @ 50 Ohms, signal amplitude difference from 0

Re: Installed recent firmware - was this a big mistake?
In reality, USB does not work that way. Here are "real" supported USB speeds: USB 1.0/Low-Speed: 1.5 Megabits per second (Mbps) USB 1.1/Full-Speed: 12 Mbps. USB 2.0/Hi-Speed: 480 Mbps. USB

Re: edy555 design notes on CALIBRATION sets
What is the Z range of the NanoVna? I characterized a 500 ohm pot with another Z instrument with the pot set to 500 ohms. At 10 MHz the pot looked something like a resistance 480 ohms with about 80

Hello Rune- First, thanks for the very useful NanoVNA-Saver application! Earlier in this thread you mentioned setting the data rate at 115200 bps. This is 2nd hand information- somewhat anecdotal- but

Re: How does VNA get the phase angle of S11
I haven't looked in detail at the nanoVNA method, but normally you would mix down to a low frequency and do IQ sampling. This is a complex number that can easily be converted into a magnitude and

How does VNA get the phase angle of S11
I understand how a (Wheatstone) bridge gets a voltage or magnitude relative to reactance difference. But how does it get the phase of the that vector. I think there are some hard ways of getting that
