Re: NanoVNA-H4 no longer measures SWR or Smith Chart
After you've done a calibration, reconnect the open short and load to port 0, and observe S11. In log mag display the first two should show 0 dB, and the load a negative value less than -20 dB (-40 or

NanoVNA-H4 no longer measures SWR or Smith Chart
I bought my nanoVNA-H4 back in 2019 and used it all the time for multiple purposes till early this year. One time i went to measure the SWR on a new antenna and the values were crazy and changing all

Re: Port access issues #nanosaver
I just downloaded and tried NanoVNASaver 0.4.0 and unfortunately got the same outcome. Thanks to all who are considering this issue! VE6ATS

Try Version 0.4.0. of NanoVNA Saver. Version 5 releases have had numerous bug issues due to code refactoring. Roger

Re: Fixture de-embedding for component measurement
You need a good test jig setup if you want to measure up to 300 MHz. Could you post some pictures of your test jig and the cal loads you use for calibration? When you measure the impedance are you

I have tried 3 machines, a laptop running W10, a desktop running W10 and a desktop running Ubuntu. All have the same symptoms. I have also tried a couple of cables. After changing the cable using the

Re: Port access issues #nanosaver
I have a similar issue with my SAA2 on windows 7. It's a driver issue I think. Runs ok on windows 10. Not sure how to fix it.

Re: Fixture de-embedding for component measurement
I always calibrate to the interface of the "vna/jig/cable combination" with the DUT because that interface is whatever circuitry the DUT is connected to will be seen as. E.g. if you are testing an

Re: Fixture de-embedding for component measurement
Greetings, Just as an FYI: There is a great deal of downloadable generic reference material from?Rhode & Schwarz relating to all things VNA.

Re: Fixture de-embedding for component measurement
I have a Copper Mountain VNA in my lab at work, so I will probably try to get some generic advice from them next week, without mentioning that it's really for use with a nanoVNA at home.

Single turn. Tolerance is a good note, but my readings are consistently less than half the specified value. Unfortunately, Fair-Rite is the only company who has written anything about how they measure

Re: How To Do A SWR Sweep on 2 Meter HT Antenna ?
I agree with Jim Lux. Holding the VNA in your hand is both simple and probably the most representative of the performance with an HT. In the olden days, the German VDE 0871 testing standard used a

Re: Fixture de-embedding for component measurement
What test fixture are you using? 1 or a few turns through the core? Note that these things have about 20% tolerance with respect to the datasheet values, too.

Re: Fixture de-embedding for component measurement
The parts I'm currently playing with are all Laird ( formerly Steward) 28 alloy, with the Z peaking in the 100-200 MHz region. The data I'm referencing is from their data sheets. I'll read through

Re: Measure Inductance?
My guess, the ISEC folks but radar would be very appropriate for InfoAge & Camp Evans. A lot of work was done there from WWII until the 80's (maybe the 90's). The makerspace used to be called IXR -
