Re: S11 Magnitude resulting into negative real part of impedance
Unfortunately, for VNAs, the uncertainty of the displayed number depends on not only the value being measured, but also the calibration

Re: S11 Magnitude resulting into negative real part of impedance
The measured reflection magnitude is greater than 1.0 by 0.002 at most. To put this into perspective, on a Keysight PNA, in the best case (calibrated with an ecal), the reflection magnitude

Re: Contact and Book Reference
It contains much more than just HPAK information. Much, much more. Navigate up a couple of directory levels and one will see directories for all kinds of test equipment and other electronic topics.

This is dedicated to ALL HP. Quite an excellent source. Looks like it has test gear and manuals dated back to the 50 and 60's. As well many of the bench briefs. Excellent source for the repair of hp

Re: Contact and Book Reference
From the looks of it that's a site about HP and Agilent test equipment. Does it have NanoVNA information also? If not, I would inquire about it in a group dedicated to those brands of test equipment.

Re: S11 Magnitude resulting into negative real part of impedance
Agreed that his values are very close to 1.0 and that re-calibrating may not solve it. The relationship between S11 and the network impedance ZL is: S11 = (ZL-Z0)/(ZL+Z0) where Z0=50ohms resistive,

Order of calibrating
Hi, In the Calibration menu of the NanoVna-H4? I have to start with the Open. When I use the Calibration Assistant of the NanoVna Saver 0.3.6-rc2 to calibrate the NanoVna-H4 then I have to start with

Looks nice! Does it use the same serial commands as the v1 I wonder ?

Re: S11 Magnitude resulting into negative real part of impedance
One trick with this kind of measurement (where the reflection coefficient is very close to 1, because the DUT is close to being a short) is to put a resistor in series with the inductor you are

Re: S11 Magnitude resulting into negative real part of impedance
Forget most of what I said, looking at the phase again you are probably in a reasonable impedance region to measure in shunt configuration (although hard to say exactly without knowing location of the

Re: S11 Magnitude resulting into negative real part of impedance
What is the expected inductance? How exactly is it connected? The most likely explanation seems to be that your inductor looks more or less like an open-circuit at the frequency you are measuring, so

Re: S11 Magnitude resulting into negative real part of impedance
Every measurement has some uncertainty. Each measurement should be written as x plus or minus y, where x is the best estimate, and y is the uncertainty. Your values are awfully close to 1.00000; all

S11 Magnitude resulting into negative real part of impedance
Hi, The below is part of my S11 file from NanoSaver. I noticed that whenever the second column (magnitude of S11) is 1 or more, the NanoVNA saver does not display the real part of the impedance. Using
