Re: Measurement correction for Zc Coax caracteristic Impedance
Hi Zac Sorry, Here i meant by coax resonant freq the freq that Give 1/4 lamda electrical length or zero impedance on smith diagram , coax supposed without terminaison . 73s

Re: using an adjacent RAIN GUTTER for HF bands
Rain gutter: i sometimes use my (horizontal) rain gutter, with its two vertical downspouts, as an antenna, at low power such as for WSPR. I feed it with a 9:1 balun (for 20 meters) and with a 1:1

Re: Measurement correction for Zc Coax caracteristic Impedance
Your coax is only going to have a "resonant frequency" if it is terminated in a very high SWR or a load with a very high or low impedance, such as an open or short. If the load is somewhere close to

Re: Measurement correction for Zc Coax caracteristic Impedance
Since you asked what we think - I think this: For amateur radio use, there is no reason that I know of to have high accuracy in the measurement of cable impedance. It may be fun for an intellectual

Re: Apologetic Intro Message
Wanted to add another "thank you" for posting that information. I've had nanoVNAs since they first emerged (2019?), and a ham friend recently gave me one dated from that era. Had never been updated,

Measurement correction for Zc Coax caracteristic Impedance
Hi DiSlord Coax Zc measurement function, already installed on H4 1.2.40 firmware, seems need to measure C0 capacitance @ 100Khz and the f0 first coax resonance frequency (Hz) and then we

Re: Measuring inductance
Please post the .s2p file. I'd like to calculate results using the Y21 method that suppresses stray, shunt capacitance in the test fixture. Brian

Re: Measuring inductance
Indeed, the HP16092A is the butt end of an APC-7 connector, with just 3mm of the centre conductor protruding beyond the insulator. It has an advertised max freq of 500 MHz. I agree with Dave that a

Re: Am I in the right track ?
Hi Dave, 1- I've upload the Kicad project as a zip file. 2- I also upload a PDF showing this part of the schematic and layout with different zoom levels in case you can't download or open the Kicad

Re: New user (owner) of Nano VNA
Howard, I used the SMA to SMA jumper cables which came with the Nano VNA and calibrated using the open, short and load connectors ( https://youtu.be/qb38VI-9tV0). Then I used an SMA to SO239 adapter

Re: New user (owner) of Nano VNA
Well, simply put: First, do an OSL calibration for the range you want to use, and store it in one of the memories. Then select Display > S11 > SWR. It should then display the SWR of whatever is
