backyard antenna ranges
I'd like to start a discussion about using the NanoVNA (or NanoVNA2) in the context of a backyard antenna range.? One of the tricky things about doing antenna measurements has always been the whole

Hardware capability? What are you referring to?

Re: #learning #noise #learning #noise
It is legal to run an unlicensed transmitter on 13.56, as long as the power is low enough (i.e. meets Part 15). A few mW is typical, and as sunspots heat up, you could "work the world" with suitable

Re: #learning #noise #learning #noise
What the dickens are "Squarers"? I'll confess the ISM bands are a good place to hide possibly illegal and unlicensed emissions. However, as a licensed ham for some 61 years and worked professionally

Re: [Ham-Antennas] USING THE NANOVNA AND SAVER TO MEASURE CM ATTENUATION THROUGH CMCs
Gary, IF the alternative RF path is down a pair of antenna wires near a feed point where the equivalent impedance is ~75 Ohms, then 3K ohms looks very good. On the other hand if end-feeding and using

RFID uses 13.56 MHz with radiated fields (limited, it's true), but all those "near field communications" things are also 13.56 (Subway cards, cashless payments, etc.). If you're making a "long range"

Dave, The measurement of common mode attenuation as it pertains to baluns and RF chokes has been discussed in this group several times and there is a lot of good info in those posts. Reading through

Probably has nothing to do with his use, but 13.56 MHz and surrounding frequencies on shortwave are the homes of many unlicensed CW beacons. Many are "squarers." Zack W9SZ

Re: #learning #noise #learning #noise
13.56 MHz is an ISM (Industrial, Scientific, and Medical) frequency. There are 7 frequencies allocated by the FCC for that purpose in that specific ISM band - in a NON_RADIATIVE MANNER. Why are you

Re: #learning #noise #learning #noise
It isn't clear to me what the situation is here. Do you mean you have an antenna connected to a 13.56 MHz signal coming from a signal generator or transmitter of some sort, and you wish to transmit

The simplest book which covers the proper subjects with as little calculus as I've seen is: Surprisingly enough, MFJ has an excellent resource. I picked up a copy at HRO a couple of years ago, well

I suspect it's MS Word vs something else. .docx works just fine on Mac OS, but you need MS Word.

Having not seen or read that book, I can¡¯t say. Perhaps someone else on the list can answer that. DaveD

I have not done so but certainly can. I take the practical approach that it's what the system presents to the input of the L-network matching network with the CMC between the feeder and the network
