Re: Wireless control of NanoVNA
Hi,
Not easy way the multiple 1/2 lambda cut cables. If cable long, the loss is big problem on high frequency. The 1/2 lambda works good only one fixed frequency and short, precisely cutted 1/2 lambda cables on SWR meter. OSLT calibration may help. My method with wifi capable instrument, short coax cable 1/2 lamda on 145 mhz and 3 * 1/2 lambda on 435 mhz + cable end osl calibration. Zero lengh coax bad idea, the instrument part of the antenne. 73, Lajos |
Re: A Good source for Calibrated Loads in formats other than SMA -
#calibration
BEGS the question what does "precision" mean.

Also would be awesome if someone who had one of these "precision" cal kits could gather some data on them on a lab VNA/ENA using a HP etc cal kit. That way you know exactly what you are getting.

Re: how can I get the raw data of (magnitude, phase) ?
Please refer to my last version of the Console Command guide (Dec 2019) - it has information on QRP's scanraw command and is in the files section of the forum.

Hi, QRP firmware has scanraw command. I not know, how to work. But will be extreme useful. External programs currently use nanovna internal calibration or double calibrations. Both method not good.

Roy,
I realized I never thanked you for the diodes. They did arrive then went into hiding. I just dug them up while cleaning up. Thank you, Rod - K7ZBE -- On 12/31/19 7:21 AM, Roy Ashkenaz wrote: Free (in the USA) diodes available for battery indicatorRod Anderson K7ZBE -- |

Thank you, but I can not see how the raw measurements can have the (real imaginary) form ========================================================================= I may have misunderstood your original message. I thought you wanted to get the "magnitude, phase". Which can be derived from the complex data: # data 0 & data 1 are complex (i.e. 0.365322053 -0.903783857) 101 points. # Example of splitting complex data into real and imag: # splitdata = s11Array.split(',') # converteddata = np.array(splitdata) # converteddata = converteddata.astype(np.float) # real = converteddata[: : 2] # imag = converteddata[1 : : 2] From there the magnitude and phase can be derived from the converted real and imag data. You may be looking for the gamma values. Per the console commands document in the files section: sample command - Samples gamma ¨C (used for NanoVNA debugging) I don't know the format for using the sample command as I have never needed to get that close to the actual raw voltage values. - Herb |
Re: Android app cable not working!
Kayak,
it seems to me, that you place the OTG adapter at the NanoVNA and not at the smartphone. Why do you need otherwise the"...USB-A to micro-USB cables.."? You need an OTG adapter plugged into the smartphone. The OTG adapter has a USB-A socket, into which you plug the USB-A to USB-C cable, which comes with the NanoVNA. -- Joerg, EX-DB2OO |

Instead of the calculated (real, imaginary) parts of (s, l, o, and rho) measurements, is there any way to get the raw data (magnitude, phase) of them ? ======================================================================================== With a serial terminal program connected to the NonaVNA, typing data(0) will return raw complex values for CH0. Typing data(1) will do the same for CH1. The complex data can be converted to magnitude and phase by computing the log and angle. Using NanoVNA-saver or another program, data saved to s1p or s2p is also saved as complex values which may be likewise converted. - Herb |
Re: Android app cable not working!
two android phones, three cables and using the web app as well asSadly, some Android devices for which OTG connects to e.g keyboards or flash drives will not work with virtual COM port devices, but you could also try nanoVNA with this Serial USB Terminal app using its CDC device setting Generic OTG connection checker: |
