Re: VNA Calibration Load
That's a great reference, Dragan. Thanks for posting it. It's interesting that IN3OTD found the 0805 pair to perform best. In the Vishay curves, the smaller sizes look considerably better. The Vishay

Re: VNA Calibration Load
I have seen measurements of homemade calibration loads. optimum was 2 resistors of 100 Ohm in parallel. It performed better than a single 49R9 resistor or 3 x 150 Ohm resistors. Some interesting

VNA Calibration Load
When considering a VNA calibration load for various projects, I used to specify two 100-ohm 1% resistors in parallel, which halves stray inductance. Of course it also doubles stray capacitance, which

Jim, That's a good point. I also ran across USB stick Wifi routers, I have to dig into what could be expected there. I did some browsing last night and found some information that although android

Re: where is the end fed natural resonance
One of the exercises we had in grad school was to prove that a radiating structure could be down-sized to 10% of its full and ideal size without losing efficiency, all other parameters being equal.

Re: where is the end fed natural resonance
How you define efficiency? If there¡¯s no loss, then an infinitely small antenna (a hertzian dipole, for instance) just has 1.5 dB gain over an isotropic antenna. Small antennas have low radiation

Re: DFU drivers not loading
Exactly which flavor nanovna do you have? What prompted the need for DFU mode? Secondary to physical damage like deceleration trauma or charging damage?? The more info the better. Jason Burchell

It's also pretty easy to set up a battery powered access point that everyone can connect to. In a Field Day scenario, this is handy for logging, and backups and such, because you can hang a backup

Re: where is the end fed natural resonance
This is using resonance as a choke, not resonance of the entire antenna. You want your choke to be high Z, so that currents don't flow on the outside of the coax. As far as the antenna goes, if you

Yes, if it has the ability to be a hotspot that would work. An advantage of "connecting both to a network hot spot" as opposed to making the phone a hotspot/AP is that your computer can then hit other
