Re: Interpretting results of portable antennas
Just for additional information, I was doing the testing in a large conference room with very little in the room other than a table with chairs and a video projector pointing at a whiteboard. It isn't

Re: Interpretting results of portable antennas
Hi Ron,
Nice results and they look reasonable.
The handheld radio with the unit near or on the body or simply placed on a isolated table would IDEALLY show no difference! Alas, that is NOT the

Re: Interpretting results of portable antennas
The "rubber duckie" sort of antennas as well as other shortened antennas for hand-held radios are always difficult to measure because they are sensitive to their surroundings as well as the size of

Re: NanoVNA SWR vs AIM 4170D SWR
Sorry guys (and any gals). I re-calibrated the NanoVNA with the calibration devices I got with my AIM 4170D and now the SWR trace looks fine. I'll have to use the 4170 on the devices that came with

Wim,
Some one previously pointed out that the deepspace demo kit is not the one shown in the nanoVNA-F photos. The nanoVNA-F demo board can be bought for around $25.00 on

NanoVNA SWR vs AIM 4170D SWR
I got my NanoVNA today, calibrated it, and displayed the SWR for my 40m half-square. Here's a comparison of the results with the known SWR using an AIM 4170D. Any ideas?

Re: Interpretting results of portable antennas
Hi Ron,
interesting data, and an interesting use case! My limited experience with
antennas for handheld radios indicate, that they do change their impedance

Re: NanoVNA S21 measurement limitation analysis
my NanoVNA has S21 dynamic range at about 70 dB. Below 300 MHz it is usable down to 90 dB with some noise.
From 0 dB to 50 dB it has almost straight line with attenuators. 60 dB has a little

Re: Battery Charging Question
I opernes it up and no battery but it has solder pads for a battery.
It does have the metal shields so I will probably keep it and buy a battery or use an external pack.
