Fixture de-embedding for component measurement
I having fits trying to measure lossy "soft" ferrites against the manufacturers curves. Over the range 1 to 300 MHz, I'm not even getting close, looking at either S11 into a short or S21. I've tried a

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 -

Re: How to use my NanoVNA-H4 to test resonant frequency of a tower?
Well, that would have not only magnetic coupling but considerable capacitive coupling also with the wire wrapped around the tower. The resonant frequency of the magnetic and capacitive coupling could

Not InfoAge but more likely The Vintage Computer Federation (VCF - museum) or NJARC (Antique Radio museum). I don't think we (Computer Deconstruction Lab - CDL - Makerspace) got them. InfoAge manages

Re: How to use my NanoVNA-H4 to test resonant frequency of a tower?
In the 70's I worked at a transmitting station that had about 10 three wire 2 to 30 MHz "rhombic" field antennae fed with 600 ohm open wire feeders.On a whim one day I backed up my Celica fitted with

Re: How to use my NanoVNA-H4 to test resonant frequency of a tower?
I don't know that you want to wrap the coils *around* the tower. You want them magnetically coupled - which is sort of challenging, since you'd normally have a magnetic core, the tower is "one turn",

Re: How to use my NanoVNA-H4 to test resonant frequency of a tower?
Jim Allyn, I don't have a tower to test this idea. I read the Notes on measuring tower resonances that you posted where Rudy couples to the tower with a rectangular loop. What if a number of insulated

It starts that way, and in some installations can take a very long time (two or three minutes or more the first time) as it unpacks and loads all of the necessary python environment (amd perhaps it

I would add to the question about saver. I only get a command line box when I download from nanoVNA saver to windows 11. Where can I find info about getting the program to work? Dave, AC0YW
