Re: Analysing Input Impedance Matching Circuit for the NE602
I was using magnet wire to wind the transformers but have rewound them this afternoon using insulated wire. They now look like the transformer shown in the W8JI link you sent. They are wound 1 to 8

Sadly, they are not shipping to the Czech Republic yet. In an email response, the seller said they were looking into adding other shipping methods, but no time frame was given. Tomas

Re: can't make a Thru calibration?

It is my understanding that after you do a Clearconfig 1234 you must turn off the power and after turning the power on do a touch calibration and then a calibration with a save to Channel 0. Maybe Heb

Re: Analysing Input Impedance Matching Circuit for the NE602
First 1 turn is always though both hole there is no .5 turn. Also if the inductance of the winding is not high enough you get a low frequency cutoff. Changing the ferrite to higher mu (43 to 73) will

Hello, If one uses *nanovnasaver*, what do you think it will be the best firmware? I am fortunate to have a small PC at my desk to use with the VNA. *73 de Lu¨ªs, CT2FZI* http://www.ct2fzi.net

Re: Wich one the get ? nanoVNA F or H4
In fact this issue is not a big deal to fix it by adding washer. However, it would be frustrated when happens. I did encounter the issue with my 2.8 inch H version so that I simply go back without the

Re: Analysing Input Impedance Matching Circuit for the NE602
Kerr, I don't how you are winding or measuring these transformers but something is definitely not right. The coefficient of coupling K is very close to 1 with binocular cores and the core losses are

Re: Analysing Input Impedance Matching Circuit for the NE602
I have never heard of anyone counting a pass through one hole of a binocular core as a full turn. Fair-rite states: "The 61 and 67 material multi-hole beads are tested for AL value. The test frequency

Re: Analysing Input Impedance Matching Circuit for the NE602
So, the good match is likely mostly due to loss. Of course, since you have two transformers in the measurement, the loss through one is half the S21 values. Still, most of the good match is due to

Re: Analysing Input Impedance Matching Circuit for the NE602
Below are S11 plots of R + jX and |Z|, these look quite similar to yours I think - the Y-axis scales on mine are zoomed in a bit (I did try to set them from 75 to -75 on the Y-axis to match your scale

I have just removed the 50 ohm resistor off the second transformer and attached CH1 of the NanoVNA instead. The attached image is the S21 plot of the sweep from 1 to 30MHz. At 7.15MHz the gain shows

So, the match is good over HF. Thinking after I hit send: Why not connect the secondaries together as you did for the S11 measurement and do an S21 measurement to assess loss? That way, both ports are
