Re: reference plane
Hi David Well I will go that far if a menu point allowed entering delays for open and short in addition to C0 for open, then Resistance shunt C series L for the load then it would be flexible and cope

Re: A way to improve the accuracy of the calibration of a male SMA connector
Hi Kurt, yes, I just found your message. Could you please clarify how I can check if cal-kit setting will help or not? What I should check after C0 change?

Re: Measuring Q
No, this is not special case. If your antenna has VSWR > 1 at X=0 then it means that your VSWR measurement is wrong. You're needs to measure VSWR for proper impedance. If you have S11, you can

Hi Erik Thank you very much for the hint. I will do so when my second NanoVNA arrives. I am not at all familiar with this "magic updating methods and must maintain my first NanoVNA as is not to "fuck

Re: reference plane
Who knows one of Ph.D might publish $50USD FieldFox-GNU. If that happens, I will ask to contributer like below. -'FieldFox-GNU is great performance/price ratio. But poor than R&S ZNA110. Any schedule

Re: reference plane
Comparing the NanoVNA to the FieldFox is a bit pointless considering it is 1000th the price. -- 73 Richard G4TGJ

Re: reference plane
I think I should keep clear of FieldFoxs. I have had two that failed * An Agilent reconditioned N9923A VNA that developed a fault requiring a replacement main board * A used N9912A combination

Re: Measuring Q
I think the choice of words would be perfect match, not poor match. In any case, the use of the antenna Q equation is a special case and restricted apparently for VSWR = 1 as you stated. Again thanks

Re: Measuring Q
Hi qrp.ddc, Thank you very much for clarifying that your bandwidth criteria for measuring Q, using an SWR threshold of 2.618:1, only applies when the SWR at resonance is 1:1. You might be interested

Re: Measuring Q
In my opinion the things are pretty clear, Q-factor is nothing else than the reciprocal of fractional bandwidth: Q = 1 / BW where fractional bandwidth is the bandwidth of a device divided by its

Re: Measuring Q
Unfortunately I don't understand what did you mean. If you're talking about this equation from "Microstrip Antennas" book: BW = (VSWR - 1) / (Q * sqrt(VSWR)) it uses fractional bandwidth, which can be
