Re: Question about Calibration document
As stated, the purpose of placing the second 50 ohm load on port S21 is to improve the isolation calibration.
The next best thing (which is fine) is to put the open SMA calibration connector on the S21 port during isolation calibration. This will reduce possible interference from an outside source. Having a 50 ohm external load on S21 will lower the net impedance on S21 input and may slightly reduce RF leakage across the PCB board from the S11 port. Since there is internal resistor padding on the S21 input this effect is small. Beside interference reduction, the other benefit of a 50 ohm termination is to provide input termination to represent nominal input thermal noise level to S21 port. With the internal resistor attenuator padding on the S21 input this external 50 ohm termination has little effect on NE612 input noise termination, so the open load connector is fine to shield the input. |

If one has that basic soldering skills you could build these for less than 4USD, specially if you just build the test fixture. Cheers! A s¨¢bado, 18/04/2020, 11:43, hwalker <herbwalker2476@...> escreveu: A VNWA like Testboard kit is being sold as an accessory for the |

A VNWA like Testboard kit is being sold as an accessory for the NanoVNA on AliExpress for $10.00 usd (currently offering 5% discount). Assembly is required so some basic soldering skills are needed.
I prefer this testboard to the RF Demo Kit For NanoVNA because of the sma connections. - Herb |
Re: Just Bought nanoVNA
Hi Run
I did not realize before now you bought a nonoVNA ? Kind regards Kurt -----Oprindelig meddelelse----- Fra: [email protected] <[email protected]> P? vegne af Ron Sendt: 18. april 2020 03:37 Til: [email protected] Emne: [nanovna-users] Just Bought nanoVNA Hi, I'm Ron WA0RJ. I just ordered a nonoVNA which will arrive in a few days. I'm looking for advice concerning what to install on my laptop to use the device from the computer. Anything else I can do to get ready to become familiar with it will be appreciated. Thanks! |
Re: Just Bought nanoVNA
Hi Run
Go to the homepage of Gun thard Kraus and read his excellent document about NanoVNA and the program NanoVNA-saver which is a must to install NanoVNA-saver to find on Just install it even before the NanoVNA arrives and study it You will also find links to other software but the do not "beat" the NanoVNA-saver Kind regards Kurt -----Oprindelig meddelelse----- Fra: [email protected] <[email protected]> P? vegne af Ron Sendt: 18. april 2020 03:37 Til: [email protected] Emne: [nanovna-users] Just Bought nanoVNA Hi, I'm Ron WA0RJ.

roof, I'd prefer not to have a computer dangling. but in the shack, the ability to view and save and "mouse around" the images, and set different parameters and resweep quickly is nice. 73, Tim KA4LFP ####### ¡°Men who ally themselves with the darkness are selfish and greedy, seeking power and dominion over others for their own glory, always self-promoting their own deeds, seeking loyalty and surrounding themselves with sycophants and denigrating and dismissing those who speak truth to them. Those qualities are inextricably linked with cowardice and an inability to trust others. Such men can only lead through lies, bullying, fear, intimidation, and deception. Thus, ultimately their followers, hangers-on, and their allies always inevitably betray them, as such men also blame their followers, because they are selfish and greedy themselves.

I think the software runs on most Windows iterations.? I think it's nanosaver.? Read the blurb that comes with the unit.

I started with a program called nanoSaver or similar name.? But then I decided I'd rather use the nano by itself.? The display isn't that small and it's a lot nicer not having a cord dangling.

Re: Question about Calibration document
Hello Al,
Yes, the procedure that is created in that document is based on calibration of the 2 channel, port 0 and port 1, with the supplied coaxial cables. Yes, the calibration pieces are attached at the end of the cables. Namely short, open and as you noted the kit has but one 50 ohm termination. Completion of the S21 cal requires the two cables to be connected together and so a female - female thru adapter is required. On the isolation, the intent is to minimize radiation or cross talk from CH0 to CH1 when the ISOL key is pressed. For the most part if you leave port 0 (CH0) terminated in 50 ohm and leave CH1 cable end open; I think that will be fine. You might dress the CH1 cable end at least far apart from CH0 cable end, again to minimize stray signal coupling during the ISOL cal process. The whole intent of all this is an attempt to minimize the noise floor present after calibration and maximize the device dynamic range. Alan |
