My test SD cards foto

In my test i use
Samsung EVO Plus 128Gb HD XL
Samsung EVO Plus 32Gb SD HC
Kingston MicroSD HC1 16Gb

All worked, detected
128Gb flash not write (used exFat filesystem, not supported), but card answer and read sectors ok

All others card answer and work
My card powerup log on 1 screenshot

SD_SendCmd err CMD0, 0xFF, 0x00000000
CMD0 Ok
CMD8 Ok
CMD8 0xAA010000
CMD8 Ok, run ACMD41

Try made several screenshots, possible card can`t powerup from first 2 commands

I have access to an Anritsu VNA at my job, and with it we have the calibration "tee" which has open, short and load using N connectors. Would I make more accurate measurements using this for calibration or do the standards that come with the NanoVNA work well enough? Also, will using this for S-O-L but using the through that came with it have any adverse effect? Should I use an "N" through or will that make no difference?

Thanks for any help! I'm a decent tech but am definitely not anything close to an RF engineer lol!

Hi Jos
I think you might ask DiSlord if the SD card driver supports SDHC type cards or the older type.?

Flash last fitmware from this post

In it i fix some problems

Time command syntac is:

round some srbp (Tufnol) formers THAT I made first.

Hello,

Have you got any images of the formers you made and any more close ups of your finished work? I've got a clone, non-shielded and wondered about adding something to it. Given the plethora of units on eBay I don't think I could have been sure to get one with shielding

Hi folks,

I got a bricked VNA (white screen) from a very frustrated OM (very cheap: a glass of beer only, hi).
- First: I tried the "DfuSe"-way - no success - as expected.
- Second: I used the "STM32CubeProgrammer" and shortened Pin "VCC" with Pin "Boot0" to reach the programming mode. Using the concerning "nnn.hex" File - IT WORKS !
- Third: I tried the method which is decribed above with the ST-Link - IT WORKS also !
So nobody need a "sacrificial" device in his stock - I think. Give it away (for much more than one glass of beer only.., hi)
(I use WIN10 prof.)

Peter , DD6USB

P.S.
It was worth a glass of beer I think.......

What I see in the plot that you posted is a filter that is about 170 kHz wide at the -3 dB points and centered at 10.715 MHz. This is consistent with a Murata SFELF10M7HA00-B0 that has a spec of 180 +/-40 kHz and a center frequency of 10.7 MHz +/-30 kHz. The fact that all the filters exhibit the same response wouldn't surprise me if you purchased them at the same time, they probably came from the same batch, and the tolerance is likely based on batch to batch differences caused by process variations rather than random variations within a batch.

It is a little harder to understand/explain the fact that the low frequency side runs out of dynamic range at -60 dB and the high side gets there at 5 dB higher at -55 dB. Since these filters are symmetrical, have you tried swapping the input and output by turning the filter around at the fixture?

Also, you haven't really detailed your circuit for matching the 50 ohm of the VNA to the 330 ohm of the filter. If I were doing it, I would use a minimum loss matching pad. This would consist of a 54.281014769949586 ohm resistor (it is the value that the calculator gave - LOL) across the input and output coax to the VNA and a series resistor of 304.01167774007837 ohms up to the filter input/output. This would give a loss of 13.867585162369918 dB on each side. 5% values: 56 and 300. 1% values: 54.9 and 301. I am sure the 5% values would be just fine. You could bridge the filter location with a short on your test fixture to determine the exact loss through the pads, then place the filter in the fixture and easily find the filter insertion loss.

Who can increase the font size in the firmware?

Radu,
Please note there is a big difference between upper case C and lower case c as an indication of calibration.?
Refer to the User Guide in the Forum files section. I emphasized this in the section on calibration.?
If you see c0 instead of C0 then the unit is NOT calibrated. (The number can be 0 thru 4)
Remember to always press the Reset menu button before calibration and then Save to one of the memories ( 0 is the power-on recall default memory).?

That said, I just tried in both modes - RECALL 0, and RECALL 1 - and I
can't see a difference in the graph shape. Maybe my calibration hasn't been
successful?... Or, maybe this is a sign the device is defective?

Hello,

You still need to compile it, but I have attached a nanovna-SAVER release that its compatible with the V2 and H4, with the addition of a small form
where one can add "attenuation" threshold to S21, courtesy from user @gaionim .

Luis, CT2FZI

Update NanoVNA H4 firmware to v0.9.1 beta

Work around errors in SD card support:

Cleanup my SD card support code
Implement read/write data CRC16 check
Implement command CRC7 check
Fix SPI bus problems
Enable support short and long filenames

Now firmware have beta status and look stable (at this time no errors on read/write on my test card while made 100 screenshots)
Debug console log still present, need for support

I measured the CW frequency error during "my" NanoVNA warm-up.

Without the DiSlord's installed FW, the actual error would be shifted higher !

May be not a TCXO but XO as i wrote in a past message.

Error during assembly ? Cost reason ? They are just assumptions.

Rudi

PS As i don't have a temperature sensor to measure the internal

closed NanoVNA-H value, i'v just measured the elapsed time since power-up.

(Sorry for my English language)

Looks like it's on its way into Hugen's NanoVNA-H:



Just checked my NanoVNA-H Feb 21 2020 firmware and i don't see that menu
yet.



Thanks,

Chris.
