Re: Anybody happens to know VF of this cable ?
I am not sure I have another scrap cable I can take apart, This one has been given to me and I do not have same crimp connector to cut / restore it.

Is there any way to tell if the dielectric is PE or foam? 73, Joseph W6JHP

Re: Estimating coaxial cable length - using TDR
The open/short/load just makes sure the reflection measurement is correct. It has nothing to do with the actual measurement of a feedline. The reason you can "see" connectors and the antenna in the

Re: Estimating coaxial cable length - using TDR
The Keysight Ap Note is a good reference. For what it's worth, in the older NanoVNA-Saver version I have, there are some problems in the implementation, specifically because it does not deal with the

Jim Lux, as always, your replies are clearing few of mine misconceptions, thanks. With all this FFT (frequency to pulse and time ) it is still unclear how CHANGING the "sweep" changes the "estimated

Jim Lux, That was a well written explanation of how "TDR" is done in the NanoVNA. Thanks for taking the time to write it up. Roger

Re: Estimating coaxial cable length - using TDR
Not at all - NanoVNA-Saver also does the calculations - for calibration, for instance, as well as TDR. It's in ./Windows/TDR.py If you know how inverse FFT to generate the time domain works, there's

Re: Estimating coaxial cable length - using TDR
The calculations are in ./Windows/TDR.py (not ./Charts/TDR.py, that's what actually does the plotting) Little discouraging, but I found the same "source code "..... I also realized that , also little

We all have our favorites, mine is the SARK 100, got it from Amazon for around $50. It has a bright backlit screen, apply 12v and you¡¯re ready to go, in 30 seconds you have your SWR. Absolutely

Hi Fran?ois, As an example, I routinely use a nanoVNA or antenna analyser to adjust my 136 and 475 kHz antennas at my home and remote QTH's, via a switch or PC-selected port which routes the antenna

MFJ also has about 8 different antenna analyzers available, some analog and some digital. Comet has very nice ones, too, for around $500. NanoVNA is by far the cheapest, but comes with no instructions

Re: Measuring swr on fan dipole or windom antenna
That's good, but anyway, even if the resonance has been found for each of the two frequencies (zero reactant), the radiation resistance will not be identical and neither will be 50 ?. That's why I

Re: Measuring swr on fan dipole or windom antenna
When you adjust a fan dipole trim the high frequency one first. Then the lower one, and lower and so on. Look up G3BDQ's book on Practical Wire Antennas.

Hello Some OMs, in fact, temporarily replace their Tx with a nanoVNA to adjust their tuning box. You have to be careful that the TX does not end up in front of the NanoVNA. In France we call that:
