Re: Your NanoVNA version

Re: Translated instructions
That's all there is to it. Connect the open , press open. Connect short, press short etc.

Hello hugen,
I am very glad that you are taking care of my problem. So I do not have to send my unit back.
Thank you in advance for your efforts.

Re: Your NanoVNA version
Two bad clones have been found, they have failed to understand the role of bridge and shielding, and made some bad modifications to facilitate manufacturing.

Re: Your NanoVNA version
Hi Siggi/Hugen,
I have managed to place an order using the Chinese taobao site, which was
rather interesting as I cannot read Chinese at all :)
Hopefully you got my order in your shop Hugen !

Re: Strange peaks in S11 with load
I just had the same idea. Scan from 50MHz to 200MHz for example and the plots look good.
Tomorrow I will inspect the PCB and see if all components are soldered properly.

Re: Strange peaks in S11 with load
Understood Ernst. Good observation. It will be of interest if other users report this situation. I assume if you do a cal that eliminates those frequency points, that is select a stimulus frequency

Re: Strange peaks in S11 with load
Alan,
the peaks are always on the edges of the three frequency ranges 52k-300MHz, 300-600MHz and 600-900MHz. So I think it has somethoing to do with the timing of range switching.
Probably the

Re: Strange peaks in S11 with load
Hi Ernst.
I would check with care that the SMA terminations during cal are all secure. I would like to use a torque wrench designed for proper tightness for each piece. However, these connectors on

Re: Strange peaks in S11 with load
You may wish to check your sNp file. There could be an interpolation issue that is creating the discontinuity. I have seen such problems in "professional" SW like ADS and Microwave

Re: Strange peaks in S11 with load
Hi Alan,
your plots look excellent, I wish mine would look same. The peaks are not related to the nanoVNA software V1.03. I see the peaks when I use the nanoVNA not connected to the laptop.

Re: Strange peaks in S11 with load
Good day,
Ok, I just took a measurement after cal with the nanoVNA and then captured that data using their SW, There are two measurement .jpg attached. The first is their 50 termination after cal.

Re: Strange peaks in S11 with load
You are waiting on the unit to be shipped. So I assume this is a measurement of another VNA using whose 50 ohm termination? Is the issue you are raising the software or the hardware? I can input a

Strange peaks in S11 with load
Hi,
got my nanoVNA today (black edition from banggood). Included was a set of cal standards: load, open, short and through with 2 SMA cables. As far I can judge, they are good quality. I measured Rl
